It’s time for change.
Cincinnati’s strength comes from generations of people who poured their hearts into making this city great. We owe it to them - and to the next generation - to protect that progress. I love this city, and I will fight to safeguard its reputation and keep it moving forward, so we can hand off an even better Cincinnati to our children.
Right now, people want to be heard. They want action. They want leadership that puts people ahead of politics. Local government should work the way it’s meant to -keeping families safe, maintaining our roads, and protecting tax dollars. I’ve served before, and I know what it takes to be an independent voice for common sense, accountability, and results.
That’s why I’m back in the ring to fight for change - and I’d be honored to have you join me.
“I will always listen and learn before I act, I will always put people over politics, and I will always recognize the honor and privilege it is to serve our city.”

Meet Liz.
I am a born and raised 5th generation Cincinnatian. I have a degree in Political Science – International Relations from UCLA, where I competed on the swim team and served as team captain.
I’ve spent the last two years serving as VP of Government Affairs & Advocacy at the Cincinnati Regional Chamber where I built coalitions to help advocate for more investment and growth throughout our region and championed childcare policy at the state and federal levels. Prior to that, I spent 10 years as Marketing Director for The Jim Stengel Company, a consultancy and think tank, and the team behind The CMO Podcast.
I served my beloved hometown as a member of Cincinnati City Council from 2020-2024. During that time, I focused on bipartisan policymaking in public safety, economic development, innovation in government, and youth programming. My priorities were centered around basic services, fiscal responsibility, and support for small businesses and families.
I have served my hometown of Cincinnati in numerous roles, including as a board member of OKI Regional Council of Governments, Talbert House, Downtown Cincinnati Improvement District, UC Lindner College of Business Advisory Board, Greater Ohio Policy Center, Cincinnati Southern Railway Trust, Honor Flight Tri-State, and the Cincinnati Para-Swimming Open.
I was honored as a 2016 Business Courier Forty Under 40, 2023 Senators Taft & Schuler Elected Official of the Year, and the 2025 UC Lindner College of Business Distinguished Service Award. My husband and I have two young kids.
