Dimitrious Stanley
I’m running for City Council because I want the City of Columbus to work for every family in every neighborhood.
I grew up in Columbus and I know this community well. I attended Thomas Worthington High School and with the support of our community, I graduated from The Ohio State University, playing wide-receiver for the Buckeyes and helping the team win the Rose Bowl in 1997. After graduation I played for the Miami Dolphins and also the Canadian Football League.
In 2002, I decided to make Columbus home once again, taking what I learned on the football field and applying it to entrepreneurship, opening a number of small businesses and worked as a mentor and advisor to many more.
Leadership, teamwork, and a positive attitude are all qualities that I embody as a result of my training. I am ready to apply this training to the office of City Council.
