My Story

My name is Dru Zeppelin Sexton, and I am honored to announce my candidacy for mayor of Rittman. Over the past decade, I’ve dedicated my career to strengthening local governments and communities across Ohio. My vision as mayor is centered on practical, collaborative governance that reflects the voices and values of our residents. Specifically, I aim to:

1. Launch a community-informed master plan facilitate engagement with residents, local businesses, and schools to shape a strategic roadmap for Rittman’s growth by focusing on economic development, public amenities, and infrastructure upgrades

2. Improve government efficiency and infrastructure investment by establishing a capital improvement plan to proactively maintain and enhance our roads, sidewalks, and public utilities

3. Strengthen public safety through innovation by exploring grant opportunities and smart resource management to support our dedicated police, fire, and EMS teams

4. Enhance transparency and community engagement to leverage technology to ensure open communication, accessibility, and accountability in local governance

Above all, I promise a common-sense, service-oriented approach to leadership—working alongside City Council and administrative staff to make thoughtful, informed decisions for the good of all.Thank you, and may God bless our community and its future!
