2019 Pumpkin Chuck

Like we’ve said before, if you’ve never seen a pumpkin “chucked” then you haven’t lived….well, that might be an exaggeration.  Nevertheless, Tom Brinkman was once again on hand for all the fun at the annual Pumpkin Chuck that took place at Stanbery Park on Saturday, November 2nd.  This is the signature event for Mt. Washington and quite a unique one for the area!

Brinkman Collects Signatures to Put Sales Tax Increase on the Ballot

Tom Brinkman has been an instrumental force helping to gather signatures so Hamilton County citizens have an opportunity to vote on the recent sales tax increase enacted by the County Commissioners.  This was done as part of the We Demand a Vote Coalition.   Brinkman believes the issue is far too important for just 2 out of 3 commissioners to impose…the people should decide if they the sales tax to go up.

We Demand a Vote!

Friends – I have worked my entire political career to keep taxes low and government small.  Period.

The Hamilton County Commissioners (Monzel excepted) recently voted to increase the sales tax.  I believe this decision is far too important to not be decided on by the people  – especially in the high-tax environment in which we currently find ourselves.

That’s why I am part of broad coalition to gather enough signatures to get this issue on the ballot, for an up or down vote, by the citizens of Hamilton County.

Will you join me?

Brinkman Stands Up for Parental Rights

State Representative Tom Brinkman stood up for parents rights at a news conference that took place on the steps of the Hamilton County Courthouse calling on Cincinnati Children’s Hospital transgender clinic to “stop experimenting on our children.”  Brinkman joined Citizens for Community Values’ Executive Director Aaron Baer and others to draw attention to the issue which affects families all across Ohio.

State Rep. Tom Brinkman said at the news conference that parental rights are under attack. He intends to introduce legislation “to make sure this never happens again….This is big business for somebody,” said Brinkman, a Republican from Mount Lookout. “Their concern is whether they can make more money – not whether it’s in the child’s interest.”
