Episode 1: Kenny Gross

In this first full episode of Local Exchange, we sit down with Kenny Gross, candidate for Shawnee Township Trustee, to talk about his background, why he decided to run, and his vision for the future of Shawnee Township. Kenny shares his thoughts on accountability, transparency, community engagement, economic growth, and public safety, which are the core priorities of his campaign. We also discuss the importance of local leadership and how decisions made at the township level impact all of us here in Northwest Ohio. We hit a small bump with our camera overheating toward the end, but the full audio sounds great and the conversation is well worth a listen. If you care about the issues shaping Shawnee Township and want to hear directly from the people running to represent you, this is a great place to start.
