Associated Press Calls Cincinnati Mayor's Race for Pureval
Mayor Pureval secured reelection despite controversies over summer violence and a downtown brawl that raised concerns about his leadership on public safety.
- On Nov 4, 2025, Aftab Pureval won reelection as Cincinnati mayor, the Associated Press projected, defeating Cory Bowman, Republican challenger and half-brother of Vice President JD Vance.
- Public safety dominated campaigns after a summer of violent incidents, including a viral downtown brawl and other high-profile crimes in recent months.
- In earlier contests, Cory Bowman, a political newcomer, drew GOP support while Pureval had local Democratic backing and won over 80%.
- Pureval said public safety will be his top priority for a second term and watched returns at OTR Stillhouse with his wife and two sons as the campaign team framed the vote as a 'report card' on his leadership.
- About 30.4% turnout in Hamilton County totaled about 182,000 votes, while no Republican has held Cincinnati's mayoralty in more than half a century.
