The official Twitter account of the Hamilton County Republican Party. A proud tradition of electing Republicans from the White House to the local courthouse.
HONORED TO KEEP SERVING AND
THANK YOU VOTERS! There's more work to do, and I'm ready to keep at it for all the families, institutions, businesses, workers, and communities in the entire 30th District. ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ๐บ๐ธ
One of the things the data analysts on our side obsessed over was "composition"โwhether the electorate looked close enough to 2024 for Republicans to win. And despite polls that showed a Democrat blowout, the data kept on telling us the same story: in some states turnout was merely OK, in other states it was downright amazing, and in no state was it catastrophic. There was a genuine sense of optimism on our team: our people were showing up.
So, I asked the smartest data guy I know, does that mean we're going to shock the world? "No," he told me. "We might do better than the polls suggest. But the data is telling us that a lot of Trump/Vance 2024 voters are pissed and planning to vote for the other guys. Our voters are turning out, but they may not vote for us."
Well, that looks prophetic now. Our voters did show up. In Florida, for example, the electorate was 9 points more Republican than Democrat, just a couple points worse than 2024. Undoubtedly there were places we could have done better on turnout. But the main problem is not turnout. The main problem is that many people who voted for Trump/Vance in 2024 voted for Democrats in 2026.
There will be a lot of infighting and arguing over what happened and why that is. One of the pollsters I really respect told me that our economic messaging wasnโt sharp enough down the stretch. Iโm sure thatโs true.
But the real reason we lost is obvious to almost everyone.
Another pollsterโone of the smartest people I know in politics, told me yesterday weโd lose the generic ballot by 13 points. I felt negative going into Tuesday, but even I was shocked by this. In his polling, he saw that a lot of Trump 2024 voters were angry and planning to vote for Democrats. He asked those voters who had abandoned us what would cause them to come back on our team. The top four answers, accounting for nearly all of the responses were:
1) End the war
2) Focus on cost of living/inflation
3) Put America First
4) Change our relationship to Israel
Our voters showed up. And the above four reasons are why many of them voted for Democrats. This is according to a pollster who nailed the results. While many spent Monday attacking Rachel Campos Duffy for calling for a diplomatic resolution to the conflict, it turns out her political advice was sound. (Sheโs also a great person.)
In the next few months, there's going to be a lot of gaslighting. Expect to hear any number of establishment politicians say the solution to our woes is amnesty. I'm open to the idea that we should change enforcementโby focusing more on businesses that hire illegal labor, for instance. But anyone pushing amnesty is lying to you.
The reason we lost is the war. The president himself said so last night.
If you'd like to argue it was worth it, that losing the Senate for the next 6 years was worth it, then do so. Argue it was a worthwhile cost to pay. Agree or disagree, that's at least honest.
But everyone knows why we lost. And any honest conversation about where we go from here must start there.
I remain hopeful about our country. To the people who are pissed off and want to say, โI told you soโ: youโre right, you did tell us so. Take that energy into electing Republicans who share your worldview. To the people who are just pissed at the results, you should be. Letโs take that anger and get back to the work of saving our country.
Honored to be named a 2026 Legislator of the Year by the Ohio Association of County Boards of Developmental Disabilities alongside Rep. Crystal Lett! This recognition motivates me to keep working hard for all Ohioans. Thereโs more good work ahead!๐
Served up right before Election Day, we present to you, once again, the failed policies and governing of your Hamilton County/City of Cincinnati Democrat Party.
VOTE REPUBLICAN & END THIS MADNESS IN OUR COMMUNITY!

Yeah, I sold cars.
You sell open borders, higher taxes, government run healthcare, antisemitism, sharia law, and policies that ship auto jobs to China.
One of us understands the American Dream. The other wants to kill it.
Thatโs why @MikeRogersForMI is going to kick your ass.
Strong judicial writing (reaching the proper legal and common sense conclusion) from Ohio Judge Molly Johnson. She's presiding over the county fair "jostling" case (the Court's words) that many in legacy media falsely reported as a violent attack against candidate Amy Acton.
Lies: The @ohiogop Bus Tour is seeing mass cancellations.
Truth: The Bus Tour is selling out EVERY SINGLE STOP with overflow crowds bringing big time energy.
Tell the damn truth.
@RestoreLibertyU had a chance to talk with @VivekGRamaswamy to discuss leadership, government, and the principles that shape everyday life. We talk about taxes, free enterprise, the rule of law, and what it means for elected officials to be accountable to the people they serve. Watch the conversation and decide: what qualities matter most in a leader and who do we want to lead Ohio forward!

Fantastic experience casting my early, in-person vote at the @FranklinCoBOE this morning!
Yesterday was Election Hero Day, and itโs easy to see why. These dedicated election officials are working hard to make sure every Ohioan can cast their ballots securely and with confidence.
Grateful for all they do!
Had the pleasure of running into @butlersheriff this evening as he made his way down to Hamilton Co. to support @JonHusted. I love his direct, common-sense, no BS approach to law & order & good government. Imagine that! You can when you vote for https://t.co/ilCAFz8d8t @HamCoGOP
When liberal democrats are so bad even Democrats speak out about itโฆ
There is no better evidence of the clown show thatโs going on with liberal elected officials in Hamilton County than this public commentary in Anderson Township.
Thank you Amy for speaking out about the absolute disregard for common sense and sanity in our community and having the courage to do so despite the faction in your party who are no doubt losing their minds over your decision to expose it.
