Several years ago, after coming across a news article calling for new volunteers to sustain the Harvest Home Fair, Stefanie embarked on her journey into community involvement. Remarkably, at the initial organizing meeting she attended, Stefanie took on the role of committee co-chair and has been actively engaged ever since. Not stopping there, she joined the Cheviot/Westwood Kiwanis club and now holds the position of President for the Harvest Home Fair Association and is already hard at work planning this year's fair.
During the first-year volunteering at the fair Stefanie connected with the wonderful individuals of the Westside Democratic Club. Swiftly becoming a member, she delved into local politics. In 2021, Stefanie earned a seat on Cheviot's City Council and secured another term as an At-Large Council Member in the recent November election. Beyond her council duties and fair involvement, Stefanie actively participates in the Cheviot Historical Society, Cheviot Business Alliance, Cheviot Police Association, and is a member of the Cheviot Eagles.
Inspired by her deep commitment to community engagement, Stefanie has decided to take the next step in her service to the west side by running for Ohio State Representative in District 30. With a genuine desire to make a positive impact on the district, Stefanie looks forward to the opportunity to contribute at the state level.
Stefanie proudly identifies as a Democrat, aligning her values with community, equality, freedom, and the belief that unity makes us stronger. As a passionate advocate, she will champion the success of small business owners, individual freedom, and human rights, emphasizing the principle that we are indeed better together.
In her role as a Councilmember in Cheviot, Stefanie dedicates herself to the improvement of the city, prioritizing the well-being of its citizens over partisan considerations. She brings a can-do attitude to her work, ensuring that partisanship doesn't hinder her commitment to doing what's best for the residents of Cheviot, and she intends to carry this approach to Columbus.
