Isaiah Hugley

Criminal Justice / Public Safety I will also work to build stronger relationships between law enforcement and neighborhoods, especially our youth, and support programs that prevent crime before it starts. Because safety is not just about sirens—it’s about trust, opportunity, and support. Education I will also increase access to youth programs, job training, and adult education—because economic growth must reach every family and every neighborhood, not just a few. Criminal Justice / Public Safety I will support city staff and first responders while fostering mutual respect, create space for honest dialogue that bridges divides, and unite neighborhoods through inclusive leadership and shared purpose. Unity must be the foundation if we want lasting progress. Defense / Veterans I will strengthen partnerships with the VA, local veteran organizations, and members of Congress, while expanding reintegration programs and reducing veteran homelessness. Columbus is stronger when our veterans are supported—not left behind.
