Hamilton County GOP

Enjoyed spending time with President Trump in my hometown of Cincinnati today. Great conversations with local workers about delivering lower costs, bigger paychecks, and better schools. We’ll do our part in Ohio. 🇺🇸 🇺🇸

Under Republican leadership, American families earn more and pay less.

Cincinnati’s Revolving Door of Justice Early Sunday morning, a mass shooting occurred at a music venue in Cincinnati, Ohio. Nine people were shot. Thank God, there were no fatalities. Two days later, one of the suspects arrested in connection with this now nationally covered incident received a low $50,000 secured bond at his first court appearance. Notably, the suspect had multiple prior convictions, including four felonies. R. Bernard Mundy, a Democrat and former defense attorney, is the judge who set this ridiculously low bond. He was elected in 2025 and will not face reelection until 2031. Low bonds like this, combined with lax charges, lack of convictions, and cashless bond policies, allow criminals in our city to roam the streets with ease. While our police department remains severely understaffed and works tirelessly to keep our streets safe, many officers have grown discouraged over the years due to situations like this. Criminals with extensive prior records are released back onto the streets and face no meaningful consequences for their actions. Mayor Aftab Pureval issued a public statement saying, “The accused, after such a horrific event involving so many victims, should not be on the streets during the court process.” I’m thankful that the mayor chose to acknowledge the seriousness of this issue. In situations like this, we all need to be reminded that elections have real consequences. In Hamilton County, 15 judgeships are up for election this November, along with two Ohio Supreme Court races. I urge all Cincinnati voters to research the candidates and elect strong judges who will help our judicial system do its job and keep Cincinnati safe.

I sent out my semi-annual reminder today to candidates that the League of Women Voters is liberal and partisan and that participating in their activities is both harmful to the Republican Party and of very little value to a campaign. I hope other county chairs share the same.
