Bowman Loses Cincinnati Mayoral Race, Deals Blow to Vance Family
Cory Bowman, half-brother of J.D. Vance, failed to win the Cincinnati mayoral race, according to the Associated Press. The Republican candidate was up against incumbent Democrat Aftab Pureval and received only 18% of the vote. Bowman, who founded The River Church in Cincinnati, announced his campaign in February and focused on public safety, despite facing allegations of voting fraud. Bowman was endorsed by his half-brother, but his chances were slim as a Republican hadn’t been on the mayoral ballot since 2009.
