🗳️ Council challenge

Good morning, Clermont County. A shake-up is brewing in Cincinnati politics as the Charter Committee steps forward with five endorsed candidates challenging the current Democratic majority on City Council. The group, which includes familiar faces like former Council members Laketa Cole and Steve Goodin, promises a data-driven approach to governance in what's shaping up to be a competitive race for all nine Council seats this November.

Meanwhile, mark your calendars for July 19th when Black Men's Wellness Day transforms Central Park into a health equity hub offering free screenings and family activities. And heads up on the weather front—Cincinnati residents should stay alert as the National Weather Service has issued multiple alerts for July 16th.

The Charter team criticizes the current "one party rule" of Democrats, pledging to bring "common-sense direction" to city government.
