CINCINNATI (FOX19) - Cincinnati City Councilman Wendell Young formally announced his candidacy for Cincinnati’s mayor in 2021 early Friday.
In a lengthy prepared statement, Young says key issues are preservation of the city charter and “addressing racial inequities.”
He also criticizes Mayor John Cranley, blaming him for problems at City Hall and accusing him of leading
