Issue 3 debate: Campaign, opposition square off ahead of May 4 primary

View Comments Less than a week from Election Day, proponents and opponents of Issue 3 squared off in an Enquirer debate, pleading their case to voters. The two sides went back and forth for about an hour on Thursday about the proposed charter amendment that would require the city to devote at least $50 million a year toward affordable housing. On the pro- Issue 3 side were Mona Jenkins, director of development and operations for the Greater Cincinnati Homeless Coalition; the Rev. Nelson Pierce Jr., senior pastor of Beloved Community Church in Avondale; and Josh Spring, executive director of the homeless coalition and co-chair of Cincinnati Action for Housing Now.

Sparling, Cincinnati Enquirer © Liz Dufour/The Enquirer A press conference with firefighters, union leaders, nurses and politicians, was held in front of City Hall, Tuesday, March 30, 2021. They were voicing their concerns on Issue 3 and urging a no vote in May. In the battle over Issue 3 and affordable housing in Cincinnati, one side has a lot more money than the other – but neither side cracked $100,000 in donations. The first campaign finance reports filed in the race – and the only ones we’ll see before the May 4 election – show that Keep Cincinnati Safe, the political action committee formed to defeat Issue 3, had raised a total of $90,000 as of Thursday.
