According to Laverne Jones Gore:
“Cleveland needs new leadership. We must break with and change from the tired politics of the past in Cleveland. We must forge new coalitions that will ensure a better future for all Clevelanders.

Now is the time for HOPE, ACTION and CHANGE in Cleveland! Cleveland needs new leadership.
