Laverne Gore

Cleveland City Mayor

Top Issues

Wages / Job Benefits We have to advocate for blue collar employment and trade certifications. We have to turn our local economy from one of a service based foundation, to one of commerce and skilled labor once more. Education Her goal is to invigorate the youth with STEM based learning throughout the school system to follow the future workforce demands with a push for returning building trades in all CMSD schools. Infrastructure / Transportation Mrs. Gore vows to streamline the permit process and the navigation of our city’s different departments so that restoration of our structures, both residential and commercial, is efficient and transparent. Taxes / Budget Improving city services for our seniors is a labor of love. Most seniors hold the greatest portion of their wealth in their homes, with that being said Mrs. Gore supports property tax reform to relieve the financial burden it can create.
