He is a stereotypical millennial small business owner who could be a nightmare for the typical legacy Cleveland politicians. I don't know enough about his policies, but I can say for certain one thing: the guy loves Cleveland more than anyone I know.

Thank you for your personal comments related to Madalone. Getting rid of the typical legacy Cleveland politicians is the real key to moving Cleveland forward and the St Clair-Superior neighborhood will one of many on the discussion boards attracting taxpayers.

Definitely watching Madalone now. McCormack is a somewhat non-traditional politician (although he is the son of Timothy McCormack).

There's hope for Cleveland's future with these millennials setting the pace and taking over the city.

My concern with him will be that he seems too much like the millennial yuppie (which he is) and that won't go over well with those in the neighborhoods. A valid concern for sure, but so far IMO he is clearly the best candidate from my perspective (a yuppie who lives downtown and works in St. Clair-Superior and is connected to business owners there).

And it definitely makes sense that the most non-traditional CLE politician (and the best one, IMO) represents the yuppie areas.

Madalone is a white male, millennial yuppie and will not appeal to those in most neighborhoods because the people in those neighborhoods do not want the type of change Cleveland needs to move into the future. As the city's population changes ie. attracting college educated and other professionals, the political structure will change, eventually.

The City of Cleveland and Cuyahoga County must rid itself of the embedded, self-interested politicians that have driven both, and now the region, into the ground. Included as well is the school board and RTA ''leadership''.

That's why I like Jackson, because he straddles the line between the yuppies and the impoverished neighborhoods, and caters to both.

While Jackson is not awful, he could do better in ''catering'' to the impoverished 'hoods. Cleveland has achieved little results in reducing poverty, increasing employment, and reversing population decline.

Post-Jackson, are Cleveland's options Johnson, Reed, or Dow? That spells disaster. Attracting taxpayers will bring the required change to ensure Cleveland's future.

I would much rather have Jackson than any of the 3 you mentioned, especially Dow. However, Madalone would be my choice for sure if I was making the ultimate decision.

You post more false crap on here than anyone can count. At least get the names right.

If Madalone can collect the signatures to get on the ballot - he'll need 3,000 from registered Cleveland voters - he brings to the campaign a background of marketing savvy and connections to people prominent in popular culture. Thus far just two candidates - Councilman Jeff Johnson and restaurateur Brandon Chrostowski -- have submitted the necessary signatures to the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections and had them validated.

Not sure what false crap you are referring to but Johnson, Reed, or Dow, for example, cannot be Cleveland's future. Declared candidates or not. Who comes post-Jackson, is the issue. Did you read the post? ''Post-Jackson''.

Wowzaz this has strayed off topic.... but this mayoral race and the direction of Cleveland's future sure is looking interesting. should be a fun one guys

Getting on topic, I would guess the area to the east of E 55th Street is improving at a faster pace, then maybe to the north and east along St Clair, closer to the lake may be somewhat better (the old Sowinski neighborhood-Slovenian stronghold).
