Allison Henderson is running on the Republican ticket for the Fifth Ward seat on Chillicothe council. She had a meet & greet at the Old Capitol Brewery on Paint Street, Thursday.
Henderson is an optometrist who recently moved her practice downtown.after moving to a home on South Paint Street about four years ago. She says her husband saw her looking around and saying what needed to be improved in their neighborhood.and he told her you need to run for council.
She says the diversity of the Fifth Ward - covering South Paint from downtown almost to the paper mill, and the hilltop almost to OU-C - begs for her to work on unity and communication. She says council members should represent and communicate for their residents, and be the ones people can go to for help and their needs.

CHILLICOTHE For the first time in over a year, Chillicothe City Council met at 26 South Paint St. where things looked a little different than usual.
The Monday night gathering marks the return to council chambers after meetings moved online on March 23, 2020. To protect council members and guests, plexiglass dividers were installed and masks were required unless speaking. Public access was also limited and social distancing was encouraged.
Prior to the regular meeting, there was a safety service committee to discuss livestock in the city limits which dates back to a May 2019 incident regarding two neighbors.
At the time, the woman had two goats on her property as part of her daughter s 4-H project when her neighbor called the police in reference to the animal complaint.
