Good morning, Cuyahoga County. The clock is ticking on Cleveland's mayoral race with incumbent Justin Bibb facing off against Republican Laverne Gore and write-in Democrat Ricky Pittman as Election Day approaches. Each candidate brings distinct priorities to the table—from Bibb's $100 million housing investment fund to Gore's emphasis on community connection and Pittman's focus on education and crime reduction. With early voting continuing through November 2, residents have precious little time to make their voices heard before polls open on November 4.

Meanwhile, Cleveland's streets saw their share of traffic incidents Wednesday, with a multiple-car crash snarling the east side at Martin Luther King Drive and Fairhill Road. In a separate incident, an elderly pedestrian, approximately 70 years old, was struck near West 58th Street and Lorain Avenue and transported to a local hospital. Both situations remain under investigation as authorities work to determine causes and assess injuries.
