People Power Wins in Dayton: Our Revolution Celebrates Turner-Sloss & Fairchild

By Endorsement, OH, Uncategorized

Victory in Dayton! Our Revolution is proud to celebrate the election of Shenise Turner-Sloss as Mayor of Dayton and the re-election of Darryl Fairchild as City Commissioner — a major win for grassroots-led progressives and working families across the city.

✊ Why These Wins Matter

Mayor Shenise Turner-Sloss has already proven herself a fighter for affordable housing, neighborhood investment, and transparent government. As co-founder of Neighborhoods Over Politics, she helped direct over $7.6 million into community uplift and housing improvements — and now, as Mayor, she’ll lead with that same commitment to putting people over profit.

Commissioner Darryl Fairchild continues to deliver for Dayton residents—securing $5.2 million for housing, protecting water infrastructure, and advancing equity-driven development. His re-election with strong grassroots support proves voters are ready for leadership that puts neighborhoods first.

🌹 What This Victory Represents

These wins are more than just electoral — they are the rise of a people-powered movement in Dayton. Turner-Sloss and Fairchild are rejecting corporate influence, prioritizing community-led development, and proving that when working people organize, they can reshape power from the ground up.

Dayton voters sent a clear message: Our city belongs to the people — not the developers, not the donors, and not the political insiders.

💪 When We Organize, We Win

Our Revolution volunteers and members worked tirelessly to make this victory possible — knocking doors, making calls, and building a movement rooted in justice, equity, and democracy.

Congratulations to Mayor Shenise Turner-Sloss and Commissioner Darryl Fairchild! These results prove once again that grassroots organizing can beat big money.

Dayton Deserves Bold Progressive Leadership

This year in Dayton, progressives have a real shot at building power from the bottom up — and Our Revolution is proud to back three courageous candidates who are running to put people first: Shenise Turner-Sloss for Mayor, Darryl Fairchild for re-election (City Commissioner), and Jacob Davis for City Commissioner.

Why These Candidates Matter

  • Shenise Turner-Sloss (Mayor)
    As a Dayton City Commissioner, Shenise has already shown she’s a fighter for affordable housing, neighborhood investment, and transparency in government. She co-founded Neighborhoods Over Politics, leading efforts to direct over $7.6 million into community uplift and housing improvements. Her platform calls for reimagining public safety, boosting resident engagement, and putting local values ahead of corporate development.
  • Darryl Fairchild (City Commissioner, running for re-election)
    Fairchild has a track record of putting neighborhoods first. He’s championed water infrastructure protections, secured $5.2 million for housing, and pushed for policies that bring equity and transparency to city planning. In interviews, he cites revitalizing neglected areas, promoting inclusive development, and strengthening trust between government and residents as core priorities.
  • Jacob Davis (City Commissioner candidate)
    Jacob brings fresh energy and a community advocacy background to this race. A lawyer by training, Davis emphasizes economic justice, support for small businesses, and revitalizing struggling neighborhoods. He is campaigning under the slogan “Neighborhoods First. Progress for All.”

What This Slate Represents

Electing bold progressives in Dayton isn’t just about new names on ballots — it’s about reshaping power at the local level. These candidates reject corporate money, favor community-led development, and believe in cities that serve working people, not private interests.

By backing Turner-Sloss, Fairchild, and Davis, Our Revolution is investing in a future where Dayton’s policies reflect the needs and dreams of its residents — not the richest investors or developers.

Dayton is ready for a change. Let’s show what grassroots power can do when we support leaders who believe in justice, equity, and people over profit.
