COVID-19 continues to make our lives harder, but we are so thankful to be joined by Columbus, Ohio City Councilmember Liz Brown to talk to us about her political path, her dedication to progressive policy and municipal government, and give us a glimmer of hope during these trying times.

About our Guest:
Elizabeth Brown was elected to Columbus City Council in 2015, reelected in 2019, and holds the office of President Pro Tempore. In addition, Brown is the Executive Director of the Ohio Women’s Public Policy Network. She has prior experience in economic development, nonprofit service, and state government. Brown worked as an economic development manager to the City of Columbus, taught middle school students as a City Year Americorps member, and has been published in New York Magazine and on WOSU Public Radio.

President Pro Tem Brown’s core objective is to fight for broad-based economic prosperity that levels the playing field for every family in Columbus. In her first year, Brown commissioned a comprehensive study of the city’s tax incentive policies, which resulted in a $15-per-hour minimum wage for city job incentives and new affordable housing requirements for city housing incentives. Brown introduced and passed an ordinance to promote the hiring of restored citizens and disadvantaged workers by companies who bid on city construction projects.
