Welcome to tatkinsmaplehd7.com

I am a seventeen-year resident of Maple Heights, and my campaign is dedicated to moving Maple Heights, Ohio forward through community initiatives and positive change. I am encouraged and invested in seeing this community prosperity. I am running for Maple Heights District 7 City Council because I believe in the power of people working together to build a stronger, safer, and more vibrant community. I am a resolute candidate focused on building a transparency with an unobstructed vision for a thriving city. I will fight for transparency and accountability in every part of our local government. You have a right to know how decisions are made, how your tax dollars are spent, and what is being done in your name as the constituent.

I will always be professional, present, responsive, transparent, and tempered- because public service should always be about the public not personal agendas. Collaborating closely with residents, local leaders, and organizations, I will aim to create inclusive policies that will uplift all voices. Guided by empathy and a deep understanding of local needs, I emphasize transparent governance, fair development, and sustainable progress that helps everyone in the city.

Our city deserves leaders who do not just make decisions for the people- but with the people. I am committed to collaboration, because real solutions come when we listen, respect differing views, and pit aside politics to focus on progress. That means respectfully engaging with residents, business owners, community organizations and city employees-because no one knows our city better than those who live and work here every day.

At the heart of everything I do is a deep compassion for the residents and generations to come. I believe in leading with empathy. Whether it is addressing the concerns of a senior on a fixed income, supporting working families, helping small businesses survive, or ensuring every child has a safe place to play and learn-we must care for each other. My vision is simple: I want to see out city thrive not just survive- but grow, flourish, and reach its full potential. A thriving city is one where people feel safe in their neighborhoods, where economic opportunities are real and shared, where infrastructure is dependable, and where everyone- no matter their background- has a voice and a fair chance.

This campaign is not just about me-it is about Us. It is creating the kind of city we are proud to call home. A city where unity wins over division, and where progress is made not through empty promises, but through shared purpose and hard work. I humbly ask for your support, your ideas, and your trust. Let us build something better- together.
