Get Out The Vote Columbia

Where do the candidates stand on the issues?

Signing the Neighborhood Pledge means support for: 

  • Protecting and expanding affordable housing
  • Strengthening neighborhood infrastructure including improving roads, addressing urgent sewer issues, and inequity in public transit
  • Opposing efforts to privatize public services
  • Addressing structural inequality to make Columbia safer for all

By signing this pledge, these candidates commit to ensuring these community issues are priorities as elected officials. 

City Council Candidate Town Hall

Missouri Jobs with Justice Voter Action members invited Columbia Ward 2 candidates, Lisa Meyer, Nick Schreiber, and write-in candidate Lucio Bitoy IV to a Community Town Hall on Saturday, March 16th. Candidates Schreiber and Bitoy both attended the town hall, along with approximately 50 Columbia residents. We asked the candidates questions, heard candidates’ plans to address community issues, and asked each candidate to sign on to the Neighborhood Pledge.

Attendees were asked about their plans for protecting our public utilities from privatization, improving public transportation, and increasing affordable housing for our Columbia neighbors. Both Schreiber and Bitoy enthusiastically signed the Neighborhood Pledge.
