Joe Leithauser for Granville Village Council - The Campaign and Installation

Joe was installed- twice! The first time to get things moving so he could vote and engage. It also allows Rob to complete his service, thank you Rob.  And then on 12-20-23 at the Council meeting with his children and wife observing he did it again and participated in his first meeting. We're proud of him on Newark-Granville Road!

We giggled, it was quite, Joe said- just like church- we giggle! It's okay we're happy and engaged, so grateful we all could be together on this special day.

11-8-23  Joe won! I'll share details and data at some point but feel like we should share the results on this post! More soon in the blog about being sworn in on 12-20-23 and how he'll want to engage, share and hear from village and community members!! THANK YOU for making this so, each sign, check, conversation mattered!  Life on Newark-Granville Road is going in an exciting new direction!

11-7-23  Today is the day- we just voted for Joe! Joe is the Way to Go- someone said that, cute tagline!!

Regardless if he wins or loses, he is committed to our community will be involved and will run again. Finding ways to integrate communication into his service.  Going door to door has been affirming and energizing for both of us!  THANK YOU to everyone for support, texts, signs in yards, events, messages, and talking him up we heard it was working when talking with great Granvillians!

FYI, Sally and Peter voted early when home for Fall breaks and Clare was via absentee ballot!

Life on Newark-Granville Road has been very interesting, I'm really proud of Joe.

Recorded Forum on Monday, Oct 23, 2023   https://www.youtube.com/watch?v=tghhRWLqgY8

The Granville Chamber Alliance and the League of Women Voters of Licking County will jointly host a ‘virtual’ Candidate Forum from 6:30 to 8:00 p.m. on Monday, October 23rd. Each candidate was afforded time for a brief opening statement and was asked to respond to two questions from among questions received from the community. Candidates also shared a brief closing statement. Please understand that this is not a debate format. Rather, the intent of this Forum is to allow candidates to share their own perspective and positions on key issues important to voters and to provide non-partisan education and information so that our local electorate is well informed about the upcoming election. Thank you in advance for your interest to become an informed voter!
