The Central Ohio Greens are running two candidates for Columbus City Council this year — John McGovern and Greg Richey. The two candidates are calling for a review of the city charter to enhance participatory democracy in Columbus city government. The Green Party believes that Mayor Coleman directs the full review of the City departments with a goal of creating efficiencies and a focus on serving neighborhoods, the Council should be reviewing ways that they can better serve and represent the public interest as well.

• Call For a More Representative Council - Add District Based Positions.

• Increase the Size of Council.

• Initiate Special Elections to Fill Vacancies.

• Make Council Positions Full-Time.

• Review Use of Emergency Ordinance Enactment.

• Improved Citizen Participation.
