Mayor Rob Rue

Ohio Mayors Alliance press conference

On December 14th I attended my first Ohio Mayors Alliance meeting. This is a group of mayors from the 30 largest cities in Ohio. The purpose of this bipartisan group is to have a collective voice on important issues concerning our cities. We discussed public safety, unfunded state mandates, school funding, and immigration. The meeting also included a press conference.

Mayor Rob Rue When I graduated Springfield North High School in 1988, my class size was over 300 students. Today about 1/3 of those graduates live here in Springfield. I will work with local organizations to help make Springfield attractive for new business and industry. I have 5 children and I would like to see them have the opportunity to live in their hometown, like I did. We must make more effort to stop the "brain drain" in Springfield!

I couldn’t be more supportive of my friend Kyle Koehler and his run for State Senate! He is a great leader and an excellent communicator! During his time as State Representative, he was very engaged in helping Springfield and Clark County move forward! Kyle listens to the people he represents and refuses to sit idle. Thanks for running Kyle!

My petitions to run for State Senate to replace my term-limited friend Senator Bob Hackett… have been officially filed.

I look forward to campaigning to take the experience of serving 8 years in the Ohio House to the State Senate in 2024.

The March 19th Primary is just about 90 days away.

Let’s do this!

Holiday in the City to open Friday with blend of fresh and familiar activities After Thanksgiving festivities, be part of the event that will take the wrapping off the annual community gift.

As community leaders, we need to resolve these concerns so the entire community can benefit from the growth we are experiencing. There is a solution to moving forward and there is risk to growth but fear will absolutely paralyze wisdom.

Below are quotes from Commissioner Melanie Wilt and myself from this article:

“We would like to have a better relationship with Springfield Twp. and their leadership, we would like to work hand-in-hand to grow these areas,” Rue said.

“We don’t like to be in conflict but we will push forward with an agenda that is better for the community,” said Rue.

Flax Wilt said the county would like to see Melody Parks developer Borror, the city, the township and the school district all work together to make the development “beneficial for all parties.”

“We want to send the message that we are open for development, that we are welcoming to people who love this community as much as we do,” Flax Wilt said.

Mayor Rob Rue spoke at the first Mayor’s Breakfast this morning, praising former Mayor Warren Copeland’s service and expressing his hope for the community’s future. According to Rue, “We will remain committed to strong stewardship, transparency and openness. Let’s be people of hope looking for the best solutions to each obstacle we face.” The breakfast was sponsored by Urban Light Ministries.

The Clark County Sheriff's Office has made it official!

Today we are sending extra thoughts and prayers to our Clark County Sheriff's Office family, to the family and friends of Deputy Matthew Yates, and to our Springfield and Clark County communities.

At the National Law Enforcement Officers Memorial wall in Washington D.C., where Deputy Yates' name will forever be etched, there is a quote that reads, "It is not how these officers died that made them heroes, it is how they lived." Deputy Yates was the epitome of a servant leader, and he served his community with distinction and honor. The Springfield Police Division stands beside the Clark County Sheriff's Office in honoring Deputy Yates' memory and forever carrying on his light.

My Dad believed in Springfield and was at first very nervous about me getting involved in city government. He soon realized I was able to express my passion, which was like his, and make decisions to help move Springfield forward. I’m thankful that Dad in many ways pushed me to be my best.
