I helped Jeanne Mackay get some signatures, because of a paperwork problem with some she got on her own, and I am so glad to have helped her in any way.
Jeanne is a wonderful person, and a true community activist.
In January 2017, an uprising of constituents gathered downtown for a word with Senator Rob Portman's office; I was there and so was Jeanne.
I'm beneath the hat; Jeanne is next to me.
A few months later, when many people had vented and things were relatively quiet, I felt nonetheless like going back again; three Lakewood residents joined me and Jeanne was among them.

Last November, this same group joined others from Northeast Ohio in what was, at the time, the Pruitt EPA's only scheduled hearing on its proposal to repeal the Clean Power Plan, held in West Virginia. A long day-trip but all of us were proud to have spoken up on the record.
Jeanne is informed and engaged on the local level too. I have run into her at Heritage Advisory Board meetings, she has volunteered with LakewoodAlive (
and been honored for it), and with the Historical Society.
A 2015 Observer article that Jeanne wrote about LHS and the Curtis Block concludes, "this place matters!" I have complete confidence that Jeanne sees precinct 3A the same way.
Voting Jeanne Mackay for County Central Committee, Lakewood 3A, will recognize a genuine think-global, act-local, neighborhood public servant.
