Holly Cipriani formally announced at the February Wood County Democrats meeting that she is running for Bowling Green City Council At Large. Cipriani, originally from Toledo, OH, came to Bowling Green in 2005 as an undergraduate at Bowling Green State University. “Bowling Green has a lot of good people wanting to do good things. I believe we are better together and I want to help give voices to community members trying to better their city,” Cipriani stated when announcing her candidacy.
Cipriani is a co-founder of the BuyBG campaign, promoting local business. In 2013, she helped develop a shop-local campaign for the city that is maintained to this day by the Bowling Green Economic Development Office. The focus of the campaign is to encourage consumers to shop locally. Local economic development is an issue that Cipriani would like to continue to promote if elected to City Council. “When our local economy is thriving, we thrive as individuals.”
In addition to promoting local economy for a thriving community, Cipriani believes in revitalization of green spaces and neighborhoods. She currently serves on the Court Street Connects Planning Committee, a function of the BG Community Action Plan (CAP) that focuses on improving the Court Street corridor from the university to downtown.
Holly Cipriani is a two-time graduate of Bowling Green State University earning her Bachelor’s degree in Political Science with a minor in History and her Master’s degree in Public Administration with a focus area of Leadership and Management.
