The Hamilton County Board of Elections certified the petition signatures of Republican Tom Brinkman on Monday, making official his candidacy to run for state representative in the new 27th House district.
Brinkman, who represented the 34th district as state representative from 2001-2008, said he is very encouraged by the early positive response to the announcement of his campaign.
“As I have travelled the 27th district and talked to the citizens of the local communities, I have received tremendous support for my decision to enter the primary,” Brinkman said. “Their support only reaffirms my belief that I am making the right decision to run. The people of this district deserve better leadership and I plan on giving them that type of strong leadership once again.”
The primary will take place on Tuesday, March 6.
State Representative candidate Tom Brinkman announced today a proposal to change state law that would allow for the recall of a township trustee by the voters. Brinkman made his announcement at the regular meeting of the Anderson Township board of Trustees. The proposal would correct a deficiency in state law whereby elected officials of a municipal corporation may be removed (ORC title 7, chapter 705.95), however there is no such provision for townships. Under Brinkman’s proposal, township trustees would be subject to a similar process and could be recalled from office by the voters.
Brinkman said “government is best when it is locally controlled and regularly held accountable. My proposal corrects a deficiency in state law that, quite frankly, was probably left out as a matter of oversight. However given the current circumstances here in Anderson Township it’s probably something that voters would have exercised.” Brinkman further stated that “this is not directed at one any individual, but rather an attempt to place power back in the hands of citizens in townships all across this great state. Furthermore, my proposal could be extremely valuable in areas containing larger and more urbanized townships that more often resemble cities in form & function, but lacking the designation.”

As Ohioans, we should all congratulate Sen. Rob Portman on his appointment to the congressional supercommittee which was formed to recommend long-term solutions to America’s budgetary problems. For a freshman senator, this honor is well-recognized. However, with the partisan deadlock killing an agreement and further endangering any potential economic revitalization, it is all the more important that we make our opinion on the issues at hand known to Sen. Portman. Continue reading
