First openly transgender official in Ohio takes office
Dressed in blue and yellow, the colors of Gahanna-jefferson Public Schools, Dion Manley raised his right hand and became Ohio’s first openly transgender public official.
“I really think Gahanna deserves a lot of credit,” Manley said. “They’ve been inclusive and open as a district. I’ve seen that in the years I’ve lived here, and the voters choosing to be a voice for diversity and moving forward is really special.”
