Cecil Thomas Platform

“Let’s Not Reinvent the Plan..Let’s Implement the Plan!”

” After the unrest in 2001, I spent months working with the Cincinnati Community Action Now Commission (CCAN) We decided there were six areas of concern that needed immediate attention. The six areas continue to be of great concern, and I have chosen to run because the current council is not addressing these issues.”

Economic Development and Inclusion

Education and Youth Development

I will work to expand the Cincinnati Youth Street Worker program

Community/Police Relations/ Crime and the Justice System

I will use my 27 years as a Police Officer to teach our citizens how to assist the police without fear of retaliation. I will also work to arm our police with state-of-the-art crime fighting tools powered by computers.

Housing and Neighborhood Development/b>

Health Care and Human Services

I will work to overhaul many of our human service agencies in order to make them more accountable. Allocation should be based on measurable long-term solutions
