John Manzelli for Homewood City Council – Ward 3

Leadership for the Future. Independent. Transparent. Community-Focused. Why I’m Running

Over the past few weeks, I’ve walked every block of Ward 3, listening to your concerns and hearing what matters most. I’m running to represent our community with energy, integrity, and a clear plan for Homewood’s future.

This election isn’t about familiar names. It’s about who will truly lead with vision, accountability, and respect for our neighborhoods, our schools, and our values.
