Lungo At Large

Paul Lungo for Elyria City Council At-Large

Built for Elyria

I'm not a career politician. I've lived in Elyria for over 30 years. I'm a working guy who's spent my life listening, helping where I can, and staying involved. I've been part of unions. I've served in veterans' groups. I've coached teams and volunteered in my city.

Now, I'm running for Council At-Large because I believe Elyria needs a new voice. Someone who will actually listen, show up, and do the job.

Why I'm Running

Elyria is my home. I've seen the good times and the tough times. And I hear the same thing from a lot of folks: "No one listens. No one does anything." Well, I'm here to listen, and I'm here to work.

At the Elyria Apple Festival this year, people told me they're sick of the same old politics. They want accountability. They want honest answers. They want someone who'll fix streets, not play games.

Yes, I am the Lone Republican on the ballot. But I'm not here for just a political party. I’m here for the people of Elyria. All of Elyria.

What I Stand For

Fixing the Basics

Streets. Water. Trash. Lighting. These should work without drama.

Utility & Tax Relief

We need better use of city funds and a break for working families.

Listening to Residents

I won't hide behind closed doors. You call. I'll pick up and we will work together to resolve the issue best we can.

Supporting Small Business

Elyria thrives when small businesses do. I’ll fight for Elyria’s small businesses to help our local economy grow.

Key Messaging Points

Citizen-Focused

I listen first, act fast, and follow through.

Accountability

Transparent communication and regular updates on where your tax dollars go. No secrets, no spin.

Youth & Jobs

Trade programs, apprenticeships, and pathways to small business ownership.

Cost Relief

Fairer rates for water, sewer, and utilities.

Elyria First

Neighborhood focus. Local investment. Real respect for taxpayers.
