Sample Ballot 2023
Vote for who I vote for
Come one, come all to the Official Belldumber Sample Ballot for November 7th, 2023. As usual every candidate listed on this sample ballot contains my full and complete endorsement.
You can rest assured knowing that they will, if elected (and I have a low endorsement winning percentage), probably maybe do a good job. And if they don’t it will surely cost them this coveted endorsement in the future.
If you don’t live in Ohio, and more specifically Columbus/Worthington you can just click off the page now. Vote for your local dem and call it a day.
If by the grace of God you live in the sacred Columbus/Worthington area look below for my picks.
As a reminder, the number one criteria for an endorsement here is following me on twitter. All others are based on having progressive values, being anti-NIMBY, or in rare cases being against a politician so heinous that they truly could do no worse.
Let’s begin:
Ohio Issue 1:
Yes. Yes. Vote yes, please let this state have this one thing.
Ohio Issue 2:
Yes. Let’s get some more tax revenue.
Columbus Mayor:
Joe Motil. Look we don’t agree on everything, but Joe is a lifetime activist, very passionate about this city, a Twitter follower of mine, and not Andy Ginther. He’s one of the few people that have been trying to hold city council accountable for years, and Ginther’s attacks against his (backed by empirical evidence) criticism of the Columbus gun buyback program were gross. Vote Joe.
Columbus City Council:
Nancy Day-Achauer. Twitter follower of mine, overall good person and progressive.
Adrienne Hood. Running to be an independent voice on city council is a tough uphill battle, also incredibly necessary. We need voices like hers.
I cannot begin to understand the fake ward system they’re now using. The ones I can tell you I expressly support are above, all others just follow your own discretion.
Columbus City School Board:
Sarah Ingles. A journalist, a very good person, and a needed voice on the fabulously corrupt school board.
Worthington City Council:
Amy Lloyd
Tom Burns
Rachael Dorothy
The three are progressives who are all running to upset the current NIMBYsphere of Worthington. They’re right, we need to build and we need to get things done (as I’ve previously written here). Let’s get some change.
A special shoutout to Tom, already endorsed by The Rooster, for being a true visionary in the we need more building space.
Worthington School Board:
Amber Epling
Stephanie Harless
An absolute no-brainer, vote for the non-Moms for Liberty.
That concludes our show, make sure to vote for these fine folks tomorrow and lets make some progress!
