Rene Heinrich is seeking reelection to the Highland Heights city council, she said, to continue completing the great work the city has going on.
Heinrich said that soon the city will have a new recreational area open to its citizens that includes pickleball and bocce ball courts. Next year Highland Heights will mark its centennial and preparations are underway to make it a year-long celebration of the city, its citizens, its history, and its future.
Heinrich faces Deborah Ball, Robert Beckerich, John Braun, Gary Chinn, Christie Fillhardt, Patricia Hayley, and Jesse Hockenbury in the Nov. 3 general election.
“I grew up volunteering with an interest in government that has never left me,” Heinrich said. “Local government is a great space because we are not divided by partisan politics. We all work together. Even when we don’t agree, we know how to do so professionally and the city is better for having a council of independent thinkers.”
She said they continue to work hard to review the city’s road quality, maintain the tax base, and to ensure that the taxes that are collected are spent wisely. Heinrich said the city also prides itself on an exceptional and well-trained police force.
Highland Heights is the city she and her husband, Jack Hering, chose to raise their children in, and it’s important to her that she contributes to keeping it a safe space for families while revitalizing new spaces to attract new families.
Heinrich said that someday, if and when Highland Heights Mayor Greg Meyers decides to not run again, she may also want to run for mayor.
