November 14, 2024  
Dear Council President Hardin,  
Please accept this letter as notice of my resignation from my position as  
a member of Columbus City Council effective December 31, 2024.  
Thank you for the opportunity to serve the City of Columbus as a member  
of City Council. Over the last five years, my office worked to create the  
first Columbus Youth Council; spearheaded the effort to amplify and fund  
Deliver Black Dreams; expanded our City’s effort to protect immigrant  
and refugee families through the Columbus Families Together Fund;  
legislated policies intended to address housing insecurity with the  
Housing For All legislative package; advocated for public safety reforms  
with the Reimagining Safety Initiative; led and passed an effort to end the  
sale of flavored tobacco to stop the youth smoking epidemic;  
championed a reproductive justice legislative packaged; and led and  
passed the first common sense gun safety legislative package.  
As you know, I have been elected to serve as the next Prosecutor in  
Franklin County, Ohio. I am excited about this opportunity and I’m looking  
forward to continuing my public service career in this new capacity.  
It truly has been my honor and distinct pleasure to work with an amazing  
group of individuals who are committed to making Columbus a great city  
for all residents. Please let me know if I can be of any assistance in order  
to ensure a smooth transition of my responsibilities.  
Sincerely,  
Shayla Favor  
Franklin County Prosecutor-Elect
