Brian Poindexter
Background
- A Brook Park city councilman, elected at large; the city's own council page lists him among its seven members.
- His campaign describes him as a union ironworker and a father, and says he has worked many of the blue-collar jobs in the district.
What they say they want to do
- An economy that works for the people who power it, where working families are not paying more while corporations post record profits.
- The freedom for every worker to organise without intimidation, which his campaign ties to safer workplaces and fair pay.
- Health care that does not disappear when a job does.
- An end to rewarding companies that ship jobs overseas, with corporations investing in American workers and communities instead.
What the official record shows
- Moved that no work could begin on a proposed Circle K gas station at 20850 Sheldon Road until the Route 237 safety recommendations were completed at Circle K's expense, as a condition of its permit. The council adopted the condition 4 to 3.
- Moved to limit the same station's hours to 5 a.m. to 11 p.m., which the council adopted 4 to 3. A further condition he moved, a new traffic study with passing grades before any work began, failed 2 to 5.
- Voted against removing the station's hours limit, and against a motion to widen the road during demolition and construction. Both carried 4 to 3.
- Voted against Resolution 16-2024, which granted Circle K the conditional use permit for the station. It passed 4 to 3 on third reading.
- Moved adoption of a fire department clothing allowance and seconded adoption of fire longevity pay. He voted Aye on both ordinances, which the council adopted unanimously.
