From the Union Hall to City Hall, Davida Russell Has Always Stood With Workers — and She’s Never Backed Down.
Union Leader Representing Over 180,000 Workers Across Ohio
Proven Track Record of Turning Labor Values Into Real Legislation
Invests in Neighborhoods and Small Businesses So Families Can Thrive
Strong Advocate for Equity, Inclusion, and Fair Wages
She’s walked picket lines, organized workers, and fought for fair treatment on the job. For decades, she’s helped thousands of Ohioans secure better wages, safer workplaces, and the benefits their families depend on.
Today, as vice president of the Cleveland Heights City Council, Davida fights the same battle. She’s pushed through legislation to guarantee fair wages for city employees, backed the PRO Act to strengthen collective bargaining rights, and secured millions in federal funding to create jobs and rebuild neighborhoods.
When working families struggled during the pandemic, Davida fought for direct relief to the people and small businesses who needed it most. She’s also tackled discrimination head-on, passing protections that ensure no worker is mistreated because of who they are or how they look.
