Stephanie D. Howse

Hey friends it’s Stephanie Howse-Jones, your Cleveland City Councilwoman for Ward 7 becoming the new Ward 8! 👋🏾

I’m passionate about creating opportunities, uplifting neighborhoods, and building a Cleveland where everyone can thrive.
From community events to city hall meetings, I’m here to serve, listen, and lead with heart. 💙
So if we haven’t connected yet let’s change that! What’s one thing you love most about living in Cleveland? 💬

Change starts with showing up. 🗳
Mark your calendars the 2025 General Election is on Tuesday, November 4, 2025.
Whether you’re voting early, absentee, or on Election Day, your participation matters for the future of Ward 8 and our city. Let’s make every voice heard.

Meet Councilwoman Myrna Craig, a powerhouse leader representing Ward 7 and a dedicated advocate for our city’s youth and workforce.

As Vice Chair of the Workforce, Education, Training & Youth Development Committee and a member of the Development, Planning & Sustainability Committee, Myrna’s leadership is helping shape opportunities for Clevelanders of every age.

Beyond City Hall, she continues her service as the Youth Director at Reach City Church, mentoring and empowering young people to reach their fullest potential.

I’m proud to serve alongside such a passionate and purpose-driven leader who embodies what it means to serve with both heart and vision.

Leadership means showing up where it matters most.
I’m proud to serve on committees that focus on creating opportunity, sustainability, and safety for our residents. Together, we’re shaping policies that make Cleveland thrive one step, one voice, one action at a time.

Serving the people isn’t about staying behind a desk it’s about showing up, listening, and taking action.

From celebrating local organizations like the Diaper Bank of Greater Cleveland, to connecting with residents, to uplifting community events that bring us together I’m proud to represent Ward 7 and the incredible people who make it shine.

This is what service in action looks like building relationships, supporting progress, and celebrating the heart of Cleveland.

Every year, I take time to reflect, connect, and recommit to the work we’re doing together in Ward 7.

Our Year-End Review is more than a report it’s a community conversation about progress, partnership, and the path forward.

This year, we’ve:

Expanded access to youth and workforce development programs

Supported small business growth and neighborhood revitalization

Advanced initiatives in public safety, housing, and mental health resources

Invested in green spaces like Thurgood Marshall Green and other beautification projects

Together, we’re shaping a Cleveland that works for everyone.

Your voice matters and your vote makes it louder!
I love connecting with young leaders who are ready to make a difference in the city and beyond. The future of Cleveland is in good hands when we show up, speak up, and lead together.

The message is simple: Together, We Lead. Together, We Succeed. 💪🏽
Here in Ward 7 (New Ward 8), we’re proving that real progress happens when neighbors unite, voices are heard, and leadership works hand-in-hand with the community. Let’s keep moving Cleveland forward together.
