Grossmann is the Unofficial Winner to be the Republican Nominee for County Commissioner

Beth Callahan Editor

WARREN COUNTY, OH -- Warren County's Primary Ballots have been cast and counted, and the unofficial … meaning not certified … numbers are in.

All the local county positions did not have any challengers from within their own parties, except for one...the republican candidate for county commissioner. And, it stayed a close race until the last precinct was counted.

At the end of the count, it is incumbent Tom Grossmann that will be on the November Ballot for county commissioner. Amy Brewer, who served in office in Lebanon for 32 years, which 20 of those years she was mayor, was challenging Grossmann for the seat he has held for two terms. The unofficial count is Grossmann with 13,171 of the votes (51.40 %) and Brewer winning 12,454 of the votes (48.60% ).

Nabial Babar is the democrat's candidate that will be challenging Grossmann in November for his seat as Warren County Commissioner.

Another very close race in Warren County was the Blanchester Local School District Income Tax Levy. Blanchester LSD, is made up of four counties: Brown, Clinton, Clermont, and Warren.

Warren County voters were actually tied: 116 For and 116 Against. The levy did unofficially fail:

Clinton County 127 For and 200 Against
Clermont County 88 For and 161 Against
Brown County 3 For and 2 Against

Two other ties were found in Tuesday Night's Primary counts. Both the Democrat Party and the Republican Party had ties in a precinct for their Central Committees. For the Democrats it was in Precinct 26 where there is a tie between Gina Marrone and Melva L. Soderlund. Both received 22 votes. For the Republicans it is in Precint 31 with Mark R Haake and Melissa Kramer. Both of them each received 64 votes.

The Loveland Fire Levy Unofficially Passed in all three of its counties:

Warren County 120 For and 47 Against
Clermont County 278 For and 168 Against
Hamilton County 837 For 540 Agasint

The city of Middletown Bond Issue Passed in both Warren County and Butler County

Warren County 270 For and 174 Against
Butler County 1,531 For and 839 Against

All six of Franklin’s City Charter Ammendments passed. (To read the amendments click here.)
