As Election Day approaches on Tuesday, November 4, 2025, the residents of Bucyrus face an important opportunity — the chance to shape the future of our city and restore a sense of civility, respect, and professionalism to local government.
In recent months, Bucyrus City Council meetings have too often resembled a circus rather than a forum for thoughtful discussion and collaboration. The focus has shifted away from solving problems and toward personal attacks, criticism, and the rehashing of old grievances. This behavior serves no one and only distracts from the work our community truly needs.
Human nature plays a role in this. We all want to be right, and sometimes the easiest way to feel right is to make others wrong. Unfortunately, that tendency has become too visible in local politics. A few individuals seem intent on creating division, flooding the city with negativity and endless records requests instead of offering constructive ideas. It might provide them short-term satisfaction, but it costs our community in trust, unity, and progress.
Everyone has a past, and everyone makes mistakes. The measure of a person lies not in their missteps, but in how they grow and learn from them. Most people use adversity to become stronger and wiser. Others, however, remain stuck in a cycle of bitterness and blame.
This election offers Bucyrus a chance to choose a better path. With a new council president and other key positions on the ballot, voters can help set a new tone — one grounded in respect, maturity, and genuine leadership. We need officials who focus on solutions rather than insults, collaboration rather than confrontation.
Bucyrus is a great city with real challenges ahead, but those challenges can only be met if our leaders act like adults, professionals, and true public servants. It’s time to elect individuals who care more about progress than personal grudges.
On Tuesday, November 4, I urge every Bucyrus voter to make their voice heard. Let’s take our city back from the negativity and move forward with hope and purpose. Judge the candidates not by their pasts, but by who they are today and what they can offer tomorrow.
Let 2026 be the beginning of a new era — one defined by respect, cooperation, and community pride. Vote for Kevin Myers.
