Mayor Bibb back on the campaign trail

Election Day 2025 may be 18 months away, but Mayor Justin Bibb is already out stumping for reelection. Since the start of the year, he has been showing up at block club-style events with supporters and their neighbors.    Bibb held a backyard gathering this week with residents on Saratoga Avenue in the Old Brooklyn neighborhood. He chatted at a Shaker Square home in March and dropped by the Mill Creek development in February. Events like these were Bibb’s bread and butter during the 2021 campaign.     The mayor is also trying to reach voters online. His campaign is running a Facebook ad that links to a News 5 story about Cleveland’s “Residents First” housing code overhaul.    Bibb’s campaign has spent several hundred dollars on Facebook ads this year, according to data from the social media site. It’s not much money, but the early campaigning gives the mayor a jump on whoever lines up at the starting block to challenge him.
