Shyanne Rippole for Stowe Township

Hello everyone 👋🏼
Unfortunately the plan to have Benwood Avenue open as a one lane road is no longer safe.

We do have to shut the road down completely again. We are currently working with our engineer to proceed with our restoration project. It will take time, I don’t have an exact time frame for you and am so sorry for the inconvenience we just want everyone safe.

Thank you!

The truth always always always prevails 🤍

There’s been a lot said on community pages lately, and I want to address it directly.

I understand that as a public official, people are absolutely entitled to their opinions, and they should be. That’s part of the role. But those opinions should be based on what I am or am not actually doing, not on assumptions. And we all know what happens when we assume. People who have left the township have done so. I don’t control that. All I ask is that people follow procedures and protocols because that MATTERS.

Being accused of “isolating commissioners” is honestly ironic, considering the history of how communication has functioned in this town long before I took office in January. I show up, I speak openly, and I address concerns publicly, where transparency actually exists.

Now let’s talk about the issue that’s suddenly getting attention…rodents in our neighborhoods. Are these concerns something that have been brought to prior commissioners over the years, or is this just now being presented as a new issue? Because based on what many residents themselves are saying, this has been an ongoing problem for years, not something that just started in January.

If that’s the case, then the focus should be on real, long-term solutions, not using long-standing issues as a way to target newly elected officials or create a false narrative.

If you have concerns, bring them to public meetings or email us. Every matter that has been brought to my attention via email or public forum has been then discussed at a meeting, because I have shown up to every meeting. That’s where your voice is heard, that’s where discussion happens, and that’s how real change is made.

I will continue to show up, speak honestly, and do the work. Always.

Accountability matters, but so does accuracy. If we’re going to have conversations, let’s make sure they’re rooted in facts, not assumptions.

Thank you.

I want to be open with the community about my feelings regarding the township’s agreement with ICE. This decision was made before I was sworn in, but I feel uncomfortable with it and I understand why many residents are as well. While the township has had similar arrangements under prior administrations, I have eyes to see that the world we are living in today is very different. I care deeply about our community feeling safe and supported, and I believe these concerns deserve to be heard. I plan to bring this issue forward at our February board meeting so we can have an honest conversation about it and consider what is best for our township moving forward. Fundamentally, this is something I am a hard no on.

I want to give a huge thank you to everyone who showed up and voted for me in both the primary and the general election. Your support, your messages, your encouragement, and your belief in me mean more than I can ever put into words.

I am truly honored to have earned your trust. I’m excited to get sworn in and get to work, not just to hold a title, but to make real, meaningful change for our community. This is home. These are our kids, our families, our neighborhoods. And together, we can build something stronger, safer, and more hopeful for everyone.

This is only the beginning. Thank you for believing in me and for believing in the future of Stowe Township. 💚✨

Please please come to the meeting tonight

A proposed data center in Stowe Township, funded partially by a $6 million grant, will occupy a 72-acre former rail car plant. SunCap Industries aims to develop the site, pending zoning changes. Township commissioners are scheduled to discuss the project at 6 p.m. workshop meeting Tuesday.

Hey everyone 💚 it’s been a minute since I’ve posted. I wanted to check in, address a few things, and most importantly, thank you for the incredible support.

This campaign isn’t about jobs or gossip. It’s about our community, our voices, our future, and the change we deserve. I’ve seen how nasty politics has become, nationally, across the state, and even right here at home. That’s not who I am, and it’s not what I stand for.

Yes, some people have tried to tear me down, but I won’t let that stop me. I believe in running a campaign built on respect, honesty, and hope. I’ll be back door knocking soon, and I’m excited to keep building this campaign WITH you.

𝗪𝗘 𝗗𝗜𝗗 𝗜𝗧 — 𝗮𝗻𝗱 𝘄𝗲’𝗿𝗲 𝗷𝘂𝘀𝘁 𝗴𝗲𝘁𝘁𝗶𝗻𝗴 𝘀𝘁𝗮𝗿𝘁𝗲𝗱!
With all 11 precincts reporting, I’m honored to share that I received 𝟯𝟰𝟰 𝘃𝗼𝘁𝗲𝘀 — 𝟰𝟯.𝟲% 𝗼𝗳 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝘁𝗼𝘁𝗮𝗹 — 𝗶𝗻 𝘁𝗵𝗲 𝗗𝗲𝗺𝗼𝗰𝗿𝗮𝘁𝗶𝗰 𝗽𝗿𝗶𝗺𝗮𝗿𝘆 for our local race.

This is more than a number — it’s a message. A message that our community is ready for change, for compassion, and for real, people-centered leadership.

We’re still waiting on the official Republican write-in results, but things are looking hopeful there too. No matter what side of the ballot you voted for me on — thank you. Your belief in me means more than words can say.

To every single person who voted, shared a post, texted encouragement, or just believed in the possibility of something better — this win is ours.

Let’s keep showing up. Let’s keep pushing forward. Let’s keep building the future we deserve.

With love and gratitude,
𝗦𝗵𝘆𝗮𝗻𝗻𝗲 𝗥𝗶𝗽𝗽𝗼𝗹𝗲

𝐓𝐡𝐢𝐬 𝐓𝐮𝐞𝐬𝐝𝐚𝐲, 𝐌𝐚𝐲 𝟐𝟎𝐭𝐡, 𝐢𝐬 𝐄𝐥𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧 𝐃𝐚𝐲 — 𝐚𝐧𝐝 𝐲𝐨𝐮𝐫 𝐯𝐨𝐢𝐜𝐞 𝐦𝐚𝐭𝐭𝐞𝐫𝐬.

To my Republican friends and supporters: you have the power to make a difference with a simple action — writing in my name, 𝐒𝐡𝐲𝐚𝐧𝐧𝐞 𝐑𝐢𝐩𝐩𝐨𝐥𝐞. I know it’s a tricky name, but it’s on the postcard you should have received in the mail. Bring it with you to make sure your vote counts.

All the rest of you only have to fill in the spot next to my name! I’ll be the third one down and honored If you vote for me.

I’ve said it from the beginning: 𝐭𝐫𝐲𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐢𝐬 𝐭𝐡𝐞 𝐟𝐢𝐫𝐬𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐞𝐩 𝐭𝐨𝐰𝐚𝐫𝐝 𝐜𝐡𝐚𝐧𝐠𝐞. It’s easy to feel like one vote doesn’t matter or that nothing ever changes — but if we never try, we’ll never know what could have been. If we keep repeating the same decisions from the past, we’ll stay exactly where we are.

I’m not running because it’s easy. I’m running because I care — about our schools, our communities, and the future we’re shaping for the next generation. I believe in listening to people, fighting for what’s right, and working hard, even when the odds are long. 𝐏𝐫𝐨𝐠𝐫𝐞𝐬𝐬 𝐝𝐨𝐞𝐬𝐧’𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐩𝐞𝐫𝐟𝐞𝐜𝐭𝐢𝐨𝐧. 𝐈𝐭 𝐬𝐭𝐚𝐫𝐭𝐬 𝐰𝐢𝐭𝐡 𝐬𝐨𝐦𝐞𝐨𝐧𝐞 𝐰𝐢𝐥𝐥𝐢𝐧𝐠 𝐭𝐨 𝐭𝐫𝐲.

I hope you’ll be that someone too. Show up. Write me in. Select my name. Let’s move forward — together.

Vote Tuesday, May 20th. Polls are open from 7:00am-8:00pm.
