"Wadsworth, Ohio’s first out nonbinary City Council candidate, Angela “Gie”
May, didn’t think that they would win the Nov. 4 election.
May thought, at most, they would raise awareness for the Wadsworth Democratic
Party in the majority-Republican Medina County district and help voters
recognize an alternative to voting Republican. But by the end of Election Day,
Wadsworth voters had chosen May over the incumbent, Republican David Parish.
May won the Ward 4 council seat by 13 votes. The results were close enough to
call for a recount, but May said Parish and the mayor congratulated them the
next day.
“My opponent walked up and shook my hand and said, ‘If you work as hard on City
Council as you did during the campaign, I know you’re gonna do a good job.’”"
