Get Out And Vote Thursday, April 8, 2021
As we find ourselves in the last day of early voting in the Chattanooga municipal elections, very few in our community have made their voice heard. On behalf of the Executive Board of the Hamilton County Republican Party, I encourage all eligible voting Republicans in the city of Chattanooga to cast their vote for mayor, and if able, council.
When the election commission closed voting on Wednesday afternoon, 11,996 Chattanoogans have voted. That means 17.69 percent of Chattanooga’s vote has come from absentee voting.
As Republicans, we show our commitment to our community when we vote. Make your plan today, and vote.

Cincinnati s Charter Committee – the independent political party that has fashioned itself to be the watchdog for good government in the city – is going back to its roots.
After 2020, which saw three members of the nine-member Cincinnati City council indicted on federal corruption charges – something unprecedented in the nearly 100 years of Cincinnati s council-manager form of government – the Charter Committee saw an opportunity to once again become a major player in city politics, doing so by re-establishing itself as the reform party.
Thus, the Charter Committee – which plans to run a full slate of nine council candidates in the November election – released an actual Charter Platform. Party platforms became as rare as hen s teeth in the last few decades of city politics. But Charter has one that its as-yet-unnamed slate of candidates will run on this fall.

Now his endorsement looms large over the U.S. Senate race where former Ohio treasurer Josh Mandel and ex-Ohio Republican Party leader Jane Timken are pitching themselves as
Trump was poised to endorse Timken in the race to replace Sen. Rob Portman but was convinced to wait so GOP candidates could be vetted in a more formal way, Axios first reported. Timken has talked with Trump about the Senate race and those in his circle, such as former campaign manager Corey Lewandowski, have pushed Timken s name.
