Neo-Nazis Are Not Welcome in SW Ohio
The Democratic Party organizations of Butler, Clermont, Greene, Montgomery, and Warren counties have issued the following statement on the neo-Nazi group demonstrating over I-75 in Lincoln Heights: Make no mistake: This display is a threat of violence.

We made significant progress toward goals in 2024
2024 was a busy year and Clermont Dems are building the foundation for a strong local party. Election day was undeniably tough, but Clermont bucked a few statewide trends. It is significant that Clermont County is one of only three counties in Ohio where: Trump failed to make gains; Harris votes outperformed Biden’s 2020 numbers; and Sherrod Brown picked up 10,000 more votes than he had when he ran six years ago. Best of all, we now have a [...]

Clermont County one of three in Ohio where Trump support declined
There are few brights spots in the election results – one of them is that Trump's support declined in Clermont County in 2024. We attribute this to a mix of higher involvement and hard work from our organization and changing demographics in Clermont County. The other two counties where Trump's support declined are Union and Delaware Counties, both in north suburban Columbus. See the map and analysis on Cleveland.com.

Senator Sherrod Brown rallied in Miami Township, Clermont County on Sunday November 3rd ahead of election day on Tuesday.

Brown is seeking reelection for a fourth term representing Ohio in the US Senate. See all the [...]
Word from the Chair – Time to return power to Ohio’s voters
Now more than ever, we must come together for fair and reasonable thinking at all levels of government and make sure that voters have power and not the politicians. Let’s consider our current state of affairs in Ohio: The ballot language that voters are seeing at the polls that describes Issue 1 is factually inaccurate and intentionally deceptive and does not reflect the actual amendment to Ohio’s constitution. The reality? Voting yes will ban politicians and lobbyists from Ohio’s [...]
Times and dates for early voting in Batavia
More people than ever are voting early this year. Here are the updated dates and times (there was a mistake in the card we posted last month).

If you've completed an absentee ballot, it's possible to mail it, but we're currently recommending to avoid mail delays you take it in [...]

Deceptive ballot “description” misleads well-meaning voters
Don't be misled. A YES vote on Issue 1 will end the current system of politicians drawing political boundaries. The ballot language and the messaging is purposely misleading. The description of Issue 1 written on your ballot is NOT the language that will become law if it passes. Know before you go! The Citizens Not Politicians Amendment will: Create the 15-member Ohio Citizens Redistricting Commission made up of Democratic, Republican, and Independent citizens who broadly represent the different geographic [...]
