2021 Cleveland mayoral election

Bibb formally announced his candidacy for mayor of Cleveland in early 2021, promising to bring new leadership and a sense of urgency to Cleveland's problems. [10] [11] He pledged to make public safety his number one priority. [12] [13] [14] Three months after launching his committee, Bibb's campaign announced that it had raised $180,000, a significant sum for a first-time candidate and more than other candidates in the 2017 primaries. [15] According to a December 2020 poll, Bibb had just 2% support among likely voters. [16]

3,000 valid petition signatures are required to make the ballot for the 2021 Cleveland mayoral election, known as a relatively high hurdle. [17] Bibb filed his petition to run for Cleveland Mayor at the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections on June 10, 2021. [18] Bibb was announced as one of seven candidates to make the ballot on June 16, 2021. [19]

Bibb gained momentum in the primary a strong showing at the Cleveland Mayoral Candidates Forum on Criminal Justice held on April 28, 2021. [20] He also brought attention to a chronic issue of predatory property owners in Cleveland taking advantage of residents by calling out well-known out-of-town landlord, Holton Wise, at a press conference. [21]

On August 8, 2021, Bibb was endorsed by the editorial board of cleveland.com and The Plain Dealer, Cleveland's major newspaper. [22] On August 18, 2021, Bibb was then endorsed by two former Cleveland mayors, Michael R. White and Jane Campbell. [23] [24] [25] [26] [27]

On September 14, 2021, Bibb placed first in the mayoral primary, advancing him to the November 2 general election alongside City Council President Kevin Kelley. [5] Bibb was then endorsed by dozens of prominent Black pastors including Revs. Otis Moss Jr. and E. T. Caviness. [28] He was also endorsed by previous primary opponents, Zack Reed and Sandra Williams. [29]

On November 2, 2021, Bibb defeated Kelley in the general election, receiving 62.86 percent of the vote. [30] The voter turnout was at 23%. [31] Bibb won 12 of Cleveland’s 17 wards, included winning 9 of 10 East Side wards with 70% of the vote or more. [32]

On January 3, 2022, Bibb was sworn in as the 58th Mayor of Cleveland. [33]

Public safety

In July 2023, Bibb announced The Raising Investment in Safety for Everyone (RISE) Initiative to address violent crime. [34]

One of the aims of the RISE initiative was to close Cleveland's police officer shortage. At a Public Safety Summit in August 2023, the Bibb administration, the Cleveland Police Patrolmen's Association and Fraternal Order of Police, agreed to change officer shifts to 12 hours to spread out staffing and reduce overtime payments and offer a pay increase to Cleveland officers. [35] With these changes, the Cleveland Police Department will be in the 75th percentile for officer salary in Ohio. [36] In November 2023, Bibb proposed to amend a September 2012 ordinance that set the maximum age to join the police force in Cleveland at 40 years old. Bibb would raise the age to 55 in an effort to encourage more citizens to join the police force. Cleveland had recently experienced a shortage of police officers and Bibb believes increasing the maximum age gives more opportunity for an increase of officers. [37]

In October 2023, Bibb announced a plan for a ten million dollar Neighborhood Safety Fund in hopes of improving public safety in Cleveland. [38] Bibb seeks to use the funds to help foster education and mentorship in an effort to combat the root causes of crime in the city. [38] In response to the COVID-19 pandemic, cities across the country, including Cleveland, received funding from the American Rescue Plan Act (ARPA). [38] Bibb is able to use the funding from the ARPA stimulus relief for Cleveland's Neighborhood Safety Fund and must allocate the funds before the end of 2026. [38]

One of Bibb's public policy initiatives has been focusing on reforming the Cleveland Police Department. [39] With the goal of promoting accountability throughout the department, Cleveland voters passed Issue 24, a ballot initiative that created a commission made up of 13 Cleveland community members. [39] The implementation of Issue 24 allows for citizens selected to the commission to make decisions surrounding the department's training, recruitment, and disciplinary action. [39] The commission also takes power away from the city's public safety director and chief of police while putting it in the hands of Cleveland citizens. [39]

Bibb also unveiled a plan to generate a new deal with the city of Cleveland and the Cleveland Police Patrolmen's Association. [36] Bibb's office, along with the Cleveland Police Union, agreed to shorten officer shifts to 12 hours and offer a pay increase to Cleveland officers. [36]

City Hall

In August 2023, the Bibb administration unveiled a new City of Cleveland website. [40] The City also launched an Open Data Portal with crime reports, city land bank lots, Census data and parcel-by-parcel property conditions. The portal will expedite public records request and allow residents to view city data. [41]

In May 2023, Bibb proposed a new policy that would provide parental leave to eligible Cleveland city employees. The policy would allow for 20 hours of leave prior to the birth or adoption of a new child and 480 hours of leave following. There would also be a provision to provide leave for employees who experience a loss of pregnancy. [42] The legislation was approved by the Cleveland City Council in June 2023 and will apply to approximately 7,000 city employees. [43] [44]

Housing policy

In September 2023, Bibb introduced the "Residents First" plan intended to address housing issues. The plan would tighten housing codes and introduce civil penalties for code violations. The plan also focuses on vacant properties, introducing systems in an attempt to prevent livable properties from sitting empty. [45]

In February 2023, Bibb announced his "Home for Every Neighbor Policy" which focuses on helping the city’s unsheltered find permanent housing. [46]

Economic Development

The Bibb administration utilized $50 million of American Rescue Plan Act funding for a Site Readiness for Good Jobs Fund. The fund will revitalize thousands of acres of vacant lots and brownfields in the City of Cleveland into shovel-ready job sites, and has a potential to create 60,000 jobs. [47]

Mayor Bibb also presented a new lakefront and riverfront plan with a "shore to core to shore" approach. In March 2024, City Council passed Mayor Bibb's legislation creating a tax-increment finance district in Downtown Cleveland. [48] It is expected to generate between $3.5 billion to $7.5 billion in new revenue over the next 42 years. [49]

The Bibb administration also announced new municipal income tax credits, a new economic development tool for the city [50] .

Budget and Finances

Bibb has passed structurally balanced budgets in 2023 and 2024. [51] [52]

In September, 2022, Moody's Investors Service upgraded the City of Cleveland issuer rating to Aa3 from A1 for the first time in 12 years. The higher issuer rating enhances the city's ability to finance capital improvements. [53]

Appointments

In March 2023, Bibb appointed Calley Mersmann and Jeffrey Weston Sleasman to the Greater Cleveland Regional Transit Authority. [54]

In June 2023, Bibb appointed two new members to the Cleveland Metropolitan School District Board of Education, Robert Briggs and Diana Welch Howell. He also reappointed three existing members to the board, Sara Elaqad, Leah Hudnall and Denise Link. Elaqad serves as the new board chair with Hudnall as the new vice chair. [55]

In July 2023, Bibb appointed Andrew Sargeant to the Cleveland City Planning Commission. He named Michael Sanbury and Dr. Regennia Williams to the Cleveland Landmarks Commission. Bibb also announced the appointment of Luz Pellot, Robert Render III and Jay Westbrook to the Cleveland Community Relations Board. Additionally, Roland Muhammad and Rev. Charles Lucas were reappointed by Bibb to the Community Relations Board. [56]

Family

Bibb's father was a police officer and firefighter. [57] [58] His first cousin-once removed is journalist Leon Bibb. [58] [59]
