“I have had the opportunity to work with Skip as the Executive Director of the Medina Metropolitan Housing Authority during my twenty-six years on the Medina Police Force and sixteen years as Mayor. This includes the study and implementation of plans for Medina County for Next Step Up, transitional housing and affordable housing creation. I have found Skip to be available, willing to collaborate and to listen to needs and concerns of residents and work toward viable solutions. I am endorsing Skip as he will bring this same experience and work ethic to the Medina City Council! Please join me in voting for Skip for Council at Large on November 4.”
Medina Mayor Dennis Hanwell
“I have known Skip for almost thirty years and have always respected and admired how he conducted himself in his personal and public life. He is a man who is grounded and guided by his faith, an exceptional work ethic, a call to service, passion, and his desire to help others. I have seen his efforts in his quest for affordable housing help scores of families and he has been a true asset to Medina County for decades. If elected to City Council, Skip would be a true asset to the city and his constituents!”
Brunswick City Manager Carl DeForest
“I’ve had the pleasure of working with Skip in a variety of settings. First as a pastor, helping folks find affordable housing. Then through Leadership Medina County and in support of the Next Step Up Emergency Shelter, which Skip envisioned and helped turn into a reality. Most recently, we’ve partnered in MICAH—Medina Interfaith Coalition for Affordable Housing. In each setting, Skip has brought vision, organization, and leadership, along with the humility and spirit of service we need in our public servants.
