2026 Primary Election Voter Guide

2026 Primary Election Voter Guide

ohio voted stickerOne of the most important contributions we can make to strengthen our communities is to exercise our right to vote.

The following Voter Guide is intended to serve as a resource for voters by highlighting the contested races appearing on the upcoming primary ballot and where candidates stand on key issues impacting Clermont County and our local business community.

In addition to the candidate races, voters will also see several property tax issues on the ballot this election. These issues help fund important community services provided by local agencies that support residents, families, and businesses throughout Clermont County. As with any ballot question, we encourage voters to take time to review these issues carefully and understand the role they play in maintaining the services our community relies upon.

As a non-partisan organization, the Clermont County Chamber of Commerce provides this voter guide strictly for informational purposes. Our goal is to help voters become more informed about the individuals seeking public office. This publication does not endorse any candidate or political party.

I hope you will take time to review this guide and make your voice heard at the ballot box this March.

Andrew McAfee
Vice President
Clermont Chamber of Commerce
