Ryan Grissinger for Delaware County Commissioner

Building a Stronger Delaware County

Why I'm Running

Delaware County is at a turning point. We're Ohio's fastest-growing county, and with Intel's arrival, we're facing infrastructure and budget decisions that will shape this community for decades.

This moment doesn't call for politics as usual. It calls for stewardship.

I've spent 17 years building technology systems for growing companies, including scaling Roof Maxx from startup to 350+ franchise locations. I know what it takes to manage rapid growth without breaking what already works. I know how to make smart investments, build systems that scale, and keep operations running while everything around you is changing.

I'm not a career politician. I'm a Genoa Township resident, a business owner, a father of five, and a neighbor who believes Delaware County deserves leadership focused on competent management, not partisan battles.

My kids live here. My friends and their families live all across this county. We love this place. That's why I'm running: to make the pragmatic choices today that set up our children and grandchildren for success tomorrow.

My mother always told me I should run for office someday. When I learned this seat was open, I knew it was time.

Three Priorities

1. Infrastructure That Keeps Pace With Growth

Our roads, water systems, and sewers are under pressure. With hundreds of millions in infrastructure investments ahead, we need commissioners who understand project management, budgeting, and how to get things done on time and on budget. I'll bring that discipline to every infrastructure decision.

2. Fiscally Responsible Growth Management

Delaware County's general fund budget exceeds $150 million. Growth brings opportunity, but also risk. I'll approach county finances the way I've run businesses: invest where it matters, cut what doesn't work, and always keep an eye on long-term sustainability rather than short-term wins.

3. Building a Legacy for Future Generations

Every decision we make now echoes forward. I'll prioritize choices that don't just solve today's problems but position Delaware County for the next 20, 30, 50 years. Our children and grandchildren deserve leaders who think beyond the next election cycle.
