В Уоррен-каунти на выборах 3 ноября решится судьба единственного конкурентного мандата при явном перевесе республиканцев

Долголетний республиканец Том Гроссмэнн сразится с двумя соперниками на единственном конкурентном месте в совете уездных комиссаров, в то время как остальные должности на бюллетене остаются безальтернативными. Исторический перевес республиканцев в округе, где их зарегистрированных сторонников в три раза больше, чем всех остальных избирателей вместе взятых, делает победу оппонентов маловероятной.

Warren County voters on Tuesday, Nov. 3, will only have one countywide race to decide as the county is poised to remain a Republican stronghold. In the lone contested race, longtime incumbent Republican Warren County Commissioner Tom Grossmann will face two challengers, Libertarian Katherine Bowles and Democrat Ian Logan. The current Board of Commissioners — comprised of Grossmann, Republican Shannon Jones and Republican Dave Young — has been together since Jones was elected in 2016. Grossmann won a May primary challenge by Lebanon Mayor Mark Messer with 61.66% of the vote according to the Warren County Board of Elections. Bowles, a Lebanon resident and former Republican, is running on a platform of more transparency from the Board of Commissioners, especially on development deals such as the Warren County Fairgrounds and Middletown Event Center. Logan is a lifelong Mason resident and an Ohio State University graduate. Logan is running on a platform of more accountability for high-impact development such as data centers and has called for the end of video surveillance measures like Flock cameras. If history holds, Bowles and Logan face an uphill battle in November. Republicans have held all three Warren County Commissioner seats since 1990, and no other party has had a majority since 1976. All countywide offices are held by Republicans, and it is rare for opposition parties to run candidates in general elections. Christian Mays, chairman of the Warren County Republican Party, said the county has always been ideologically conservative, something that is reflected in its voting history. “I think most people realize that most of the races would be a lost cause,” Mays said about opposition parties often not running candidates. Mays said he does pay close attention to races in places like Mason and Deerfield Twp., which border more liberal Hamilton County to the south, and Springboro, which borders Montgomery County to the north. Democrats have garnered a higher percentage of votes on election days in those areas than the rest of the county, but still have yet to take control of any municipality in the county. Registered Republicans outnumber all other registered voters in Warren County by a 3-to-1 margin, according to the Ohio Board of Elections. Uncontested races that will appear on the Nov. 3 ballot are: - County Auditor: - Matt Nolan (Republican) - Judge of the Court of Common Pleas General Division: - Gary A. Loxley - Judge of the Court of Common Pleas Probate and Juvenile Division: - Joseph W. Kirby - udge of the Court of Appeals Ohio 12th District: - Matthew Byrne - Judge of the Court of Appeals Ohio 12th District: - Robert A. Hendrickson All candidates were certified prior to the May primary election, and no new candidates appear on the November ballot, according to the Warren County Board of Elections.
