If you see me on the street please say Hi! :)
Four years ago, I was the only candidate to visit nearly every house in Pepper Pike, and I'm committed to doing it again!
I want you to know that your voice matters, and I'm always here to listen.
If we haven’t met—or if you think we see things differently—I’d love to hear from you!
There's a lot of misinformation out there--please call me and get it from the source :)
I always respond to residents, and I can only represent your voice if I’ve had the chance to hear it.
I hope to earn your vote on November 4!
Let’s keep moving forward—together!
Sincerely,
Cathy Hwang, MD

Charter review
Pepper Pike's Charter is over 60 years old. Every single surrounding Community has updated their charters recently. That is a fact.
Updating our Charter was a good idea...until
Many residents told me they felt the process felt rushed.
I recognized this was polarizing the Community and that the review needed more work and discussion.
I brought this resident feedback to the Council and recommended taking the issue off the Spring ballot for more discussion. Unfortunately my idea did not gain traction.
