For the third time in as many years, residents of Cleveland’s Ward 11 will have a new representative on the city council.
CLEVELAND — For the second time in less than three years, residents of Cleveland’s Ward 11, which includes parts of the West Side’s Edgewater, Cudell, Jefferson and Bellaire-Puritas neighborhoods, will have a new representative on the city council. Longtime labor leader Danny Kelly, who was most recently a recruiter for CMSD, was appointed to fill the vacancy of Brian Mooney, who will be leaving his position on city council after winning a seat on the Cuyahoga County Court of Common Pleas bench.
Kelly has been a member of Laborers’ Local 310 for more than four decades and has been an active member of the Cuyahoga County Democratic Party. Most recently, Kelly worked for the CMSD as a student-family recruiter. Mooney told his fellow council members that his primary goal leading up to the appointment process was to ensure that Ward 11 residents and the council itself would not be left without a sitting city council member.
In line with longstanding council tradition, outgoing council members typically nominate their replacement. The rest of the council typically affirms their choice.
