Tonight Cleveland will host what is expected to be the most watched #PresidentialDebate in history, shining a spotlight on some of our greatest assets in @ClevelandClinic and @cwru and exposing our fault lines as a city. 1/9

Once a vibrant metropolis, Cleveland is now the poorest big city in the nation, the worst place in the country to be a Black woman and the least connected. Now more than ever, we need courageous leadership to address some of our biggest challenges. #CLECantWait 2/9

Before the #Debates2020 descend into verbal combat, I’m reflecting on the kind of President Cleveland needs to lead us to racial healing, economic recovery and a better tomorrow. #LetsBuildTogether 3/9

Cleveland needs a President who will prioritize American cities and put an urban agenda on the national agenda. Midsize cities can lead this country to economic recovery through strategic investments in infrastructure & public transit #ANewAgenda @BloombergCities 4/9

Cleveland needs a President who has a bold vision for reimagining economic development - a leader who will leverage our proud history of manufacturing AND invest in people. Think universal basic income, year-round apprenticeship programs #EconomicJustice @mayorsforagi 5/9

Cleveland needs a President who understands that rebuilding trust between police and the community requires transformational change. We need to fundamentally rethink what policing looks like, prioritize prevention and increase accountability. @usmayors @OurMayors 6/9

Cleveland needs a President who empowers state and local governments with the resources they need to help communities recover from the impacts of #COVID19 #CitiesAreEssential @leagueofcities @usmayors @OhioMayors 7/9

Cleveland needs a President who will restore dignity to White House to repair broken bonds with our allies and trading partners so we can once again lead by example. #ANewStart 8/9

Cleveland needs a President who will meet this moment, not take us back in time.

So this November, #Vote like Cleveland’s future depends on it. #CLECantWait
