I am a resident of Marietta’s 4th Ward and attended the October 22 candidates forum.

Elect Ron Wesel 4th Ward City Council

Marietta is worth serving, and I can’t think of a better candidate for City Council to serve her than Ron Wesel. Ron is a proud son of Marietta and ready to take on this charge.

The coaches felt that many of these people would like to show their support and concern and “wow” were they right. The ...

Our community deserves leaders who will protect our land, water, and health. Erin O’Neill has been a strong and steady voice against more injection wells in Washington County.

She also brings the same determination to the city’s finances and development, helping to ensure Marietta’s future is strong. Erin O’Neill is the kind of ...
