What voters need to 
know about Ron Bacon

Ron is the incumbent candidate currently seated on the East Lansing City Council since my appointment in August of 2020.

 

Ron is most proud of how he and his colleagues managed challenges brought about by the global pandemic. The Council’s efforts around fair budgeting and mitigating Covid related losses in revenue was a huge undertaking.

 

This was happening while simultaneously working to create a safer and more inclusive East Lansing for all of our citizens and visitors. This encompassed changes to codes and ordinances, our sweeping DEI strategy and positive police reform, specific to the type of community that we want to be now and in the future..
