Which local candidates made the Tea Party pledge?
I attended an event last week where nearly 100 candidates local and state office all pledged to support the ideas of the Cincinnati Tea Party.
Here is a list of who signed up. In the crowded Butler County commission race, I notice Jose Alvarez, Wes Retherford and Jesse VonStein all signed up. Organizers said Cindy Carpenter had promised to show up, but that was the same day she had a seizure and was taken to the hospital. So the two that didn’t sign up are Gregory Jolivette (the incumbent) and Paul Nenni.
Here is a full overview of that race, as of the filing deadline.
There were also numerous local people there who are running for GOP central committee, including a couple incumbents.
Here is what they pledged:
I pledge to support the following core values and code of ethics:
Core Values
- Free Markets
- Fiscal Responsibility
- Limited Government
Code of Ethics
- Show personal and professional integrity in my actions
- Work within the law
- Communicate the core values in a positive manner
- Engage the opposition in a civil and respectful manner
- Stay informed on issues
- Lead by example
- Avoid conflicts of interest
- Act with transparency and responsibility

Is anybody out there?
I’ve been way too busy over the past week, and the blogging took a back seat. For that I apologize.
Here is a little of what I’ve been working on:
- Selling new senior services levy won’t be easy
- County must spend $4.2M in federal funds or lose them
- Clerk of courts collapses
- State ends waiting list for senior in-home care programs
- FOP responds to deputy layoffs: ‘That’s sad’
- Live person to return to 211, which may merge with 2 other counties
- Center for abuse victims will open in former Kroger building
Any thoughts on any of these issues?
