President’s Day Mayor Monday — Throwback Edition

from Four Hundred & Nineteen Hosted by Gretchen DeBacker, Matt Killam and Kevin Mullan

Powered by WGTE, this episode features a special President’s Day Mayor Monday — Throwback Edition of The Four Hundred & Nineteen, revisiting some of our favorite conversations with local leaders shaping Northwest Ohio. In this episode, we rewind to our discussions with Tim Pedro, Mayor of Waterville; Mike McCann, Mayor of Defiance; and Danny Sanchez, Mayor of Fremont. From economic development and infrastructure to riverfront revitalization, youth engagement, and small-town pride, these conversations highlight what it means to lead at the local level. Each mayor shares insight into the challenges and opportunities facing their communities—and why collaboration, transparency, and long-term vision matter. On a day when we reflect on leadership in America, this episode reminds us that some of the most impactful leadership happens close to home. Thanks to our sponsors: Whetro Wealth Management, Workspring, Toledo Refining Company, Toledo Community Foundation, Destination Toledo, and TARTA.
