The chaos and lawlessness seen that led to the cancelation of the St. Catharine FunFest last night cannot be tolerated.
Residents who attend and organizers who plan summer events should not have to worry about their safety or the possibility of this type of inexcusable behavior—and criminal conduct—disrupting events, impacting businesses, and making neighborhoods less safe.
The City Attorney’s Office suffered a tremendous loss last night as Prosecutor and Senior Attorney Kaitlyn Spahr was killed in a car accident. Kaitlyn was a dedicated public servant, working in the City Attorney’s Office for several years.
She was a hard worker, someone who cared about her job, and more importantly, the people she worked with and for—the residents of our city. Columbus is better for people like Kaitlyn who make a difference in the work they do each day.
Last night, another senseless act of violence wreaked havoc on our community. I’m praying for the CPD officer and his speedy recovery.
The men and women of the Division of Police sacrifice and put themselves in harm’s way every time they put on their uniform, and we’re grateful for their service to our city.
Businesses have a duty to operate safety, both for their employees and the neighborhoods they’re located in.
The conditions at this shop were so dangerous that we had no choice but to step in and push for closure. It’s a matter of public safety.
Every Columbus resident deserves to feel safe in their neighborhood, no matter where they live.
Block by block, my office is cracking down on problem properties, shutting down drug houses and bad businesses, and fighting to hold bad actors accountable.

When I was on City Council, one of my main priorities was to clean up run down hotels that had become real problems in their neighborhood, which is how our hotel licensing program was born.
As City Attorney, I’ve remained focused on hotels and holding owners who turn a blind eye to crime, drugs, and safety concerns accountable for these awful conditions.
Strong neighborhoods are built by engaged residents. Last night’s Block by Block meeting was a great reminder that when neighbors show up, speak out, and work together, our communities are safer, stronger, and more connected.
The Trump administration can’t even define “DEI,” but the president is using anti-DEI executive orders to strong-arm cities like Columbus into going along with his extreme policies.
Congress—not the president—decides how funds are spent. That’s Civics 101.
