Those were the words of Cleveland Heights Mayor Kahlil Seren back in June, written in a letter to city employees. The letter came after Seren learned his campaign had not secured enough valid signatures to qualify for the 2025 election ballot, just part of what has become a rocky and divisive chapter for one of Cleveland's most notable inner-ring suburbs.

Just four years ago, Seren made history as Cleveland Heights' first directly elected mayor, promising to help usher in a new era for the "progressive" town of more than 40,000 people. Instead, his administration has spiraled out of control in recent months thanks to a fractured relationship with City Council, claims of budget mismanagement, lawsuits alleging a toxic work environment, and multiple investigations involving his wife, Natalie McDaniel, who now faces criminal trespassing charges.
