TOLEDO CITY COUNCIL CANDIDATES — TYRONE RILEY AND SHAUN STRONG

The second preview of Toledo's City Council races focuses on District 1 in central Toledo. 

There, incumbent Tyrone Riley is being challenged by Shaun Strong. 

Both are Democrats, the party is not officially endorsing in this race.  

'MIDSTORY' FOUNDERS — LOGAN SANDER AND SAMUEL CHANG

They're young and they're smart; ivy league-educated. They're from here so where do you suppose they are now? How many of you said, "Probably right here where they came from?"

If you really said that, you're right. Specifically, they are Logan Sander and Samuel Chang.

Both graduated Sylvania Southview and Princeton. They started careers "out east" but they've come home hope to show others they should come home, too. 

They founded "Midstory." It's a non-profit referred to as a "media thinkhub."  

They explain at the Leading Edge table.

Leading Edge airs on Sundays at 8:30 a.m. only on WTOL.
