Marion Anita Gardner was selected to fill in for Ken johnson who was removed from Council earlier this year by the Ohio Supreme Court at the request of the Ohio Attorney General. Johnson is due to face trial starting July 19, 2021. Reclaim Ward 4 recruited Ms. Gardner and advocated for her to be selected from the 20 "applicants" for the job.
