Rob Pasker’s Vision for Toledo: A City That Works for Everyone
Rob’s campaign is built on four core pillars, all aimed at creating a more equitable, empowered, and prosperous Toledo.
Pillar 1: Access to Homeownership
Rob believes that every Toledoan should have the opportunity to own a piece of their community. Through education, assistance, and systemic reform, he’s committed to breaking down the barriers to ownership.
- Expand down payment assistance programs
- Launch financial literacy & homebuyer education initiatives
- Promote long-term affordability through community-centered housing solutions
Pillar 2: Economic Development
Economic opportunity must be rooted in local ownership, fair wages, and community-centered development — not just outside investment.
- Support locally owned and neighborhood-based businesses
- Create job pipelines through housing trades and real estate
- Tie development deals to public benefit and local hiring
Pillar 3: Zoning & Infrastructure
To rebuild neighborhoods and increase housing access, Toledo needs to reform outdated zoning laws and reinvest in crumbling infrastructure.
- Reclaim vacant lots and abandoned homes for owner-occupancy
- Reform zoning to allow smart, community-centered growth
- Fund home repair grants and neighborhood beautification
Pillar 4: Community Engagement
Rob’s leadership is rooted in community voice and grassroots partnerships. He believes in meeting people where they are — in their neighborhoods, schools, and everyday spaces — and making sure their voices help shape policy.
Whether it’s through mentoring youth, working alongside neighborhood leaders, or supporting community-based events, Rob brings City Hall to the people — not the other way around.
