Both Ginther and Motil are trying to appeal to voters that they will be the one to make Columbus a safer city.
COLUMBUS, Ohio — The Columbus mayor’s seat is up for grabs in the November election. Mayor Andrew Ginther is running for a third term. He’s being challenged by Joe Motil and several write-in candidates.
Motil’s ideas involve more investment from the city into programs through Columbus Public Health and other resources. He said cracking down on guns is part of the solution, but not the entire solution. Over the weekend, Ginther held a gun buyback event. That buy-back collected 344 guns in return for more than $136,000 in gift cards.
The guns collected, Ginther said, are now being looked at by Columbus Police through the NIBIN system to determine if any had been used in crimes around Columbus.
