Warrensville Heights mayor Brad Sellers enters Cuyahoga Conty executive race
Warrensville Heights mayor and former pro basketballer Brad Sellers announced Wednesday that he was entering the 2022 race for Cuyahoga County Executive. Sellers, who has served Warrensville Heights for 20 years in various roles, will face former University Circle Inc. Chris Ronayne in the race's Democratic primary.
He identified a new Cuyahoga County jail, questions surrounding the airport and lakefront access as key priorities, and he stressed that development projects across the board must be more than just bricks and mortar efforts if they are to succeed. Sellers' remarks were light on specifics and heavy on basketball analogies. He likened the role of county government to that of a point guard, suggesting that the county should serve as an orchestrator, collaborating with cities and ensuring that finite resources are distributed based on a system of tiered priorities.
As for Ronayne, Sellers said he considers him a friend, and looks forward to a robust and competitive primary campaign season."It doesn't have to be adversarial," Sellers said."Chris has a set of unique experiences. Mine are different. What we built here in Warrensville Heights, we did from the ground up."
