To our other story this morning in Commitment
2024, setting the stage for November S election,
Ohio S primary elections are in the book.
Now we're breaking down all of the results statewide,
as well as some of the local issues you may
have seen on your ballot.
So in the presidential race,
the field already set, but we have results from how
Ohio voted for the candidates.
Yeah, so former President Trump collected more than
79% of the vote after major challengers dropped out of
the race.
Meanwhile, President Biden secured 85%
of the vote, securing their place in the presidential primary
and forecasting A2020 rematch coming up in November.
And one of the biggest races on the ballot was
the Ohio Senate primary.
Cleveland businessman Bernie Moreno declared the winner for the nomination
after securing 50%
of the Ohio vote. Here's his message to supporters last
night as he prepares to face off against Democratic Senator
Sherrod Brown in November.
What we have to do now
is, as a fully united party,
understand we have one mission,
which is to get rid of Sherrod Brown.
And by and by getting rid of Sherrod Brown,
we're going to get back to United States Senate.
And then by getting back to United States Senate we're
going to put this country back on track.
With November's match up set.
US Senator Brown is sharing this statement with us stating
the choice ahead of Ohio is clear.
Brittany Moreno has spent his career and campaign putting himself
1st and would do the same if elected.
Moreno also thank Senator JD Vance voters and his team
for the victory saying now there is an opportunity for
new Republican leadership.
After months of political ads,
debates rallies and town halls.
Small business owner and prosecutor David Taylor has won the
GOP nomination in the Ohio second Congressional District race and
he managed to defeat ten other Republicans vying for that
seat. We spoke with him following that victory and he
says he's already looking forward to the general election and
an opportunity to make a difference for the people of
Southern Ohio.
Well, I I've had experience in in public service and
in in in the private sector and and it it
it's all about problem solving and obviously we're facing a
lot of problems and I'm looking forward to putting the
tools I've used to get to where I am now
to use to to get us over the trouble troubles
we're facing.
Taylor will face off against lone Democrat Samantha Meadows in
November.
Ohio voters also making their voices heard on local levy
and bond issues.
Yesterday marked the second election in a row.
Colerain Township police were asking for money and just like
in November,
that Levy failed with less than 1000 votes.
The cost was less than what was asked of homeowners
a few months ago,
costing about
$128.00 per $100,000 of home value.
After the last levy failed,
the department had to cut seven officers and five civilian
positions with another failed levy.
The department says more cuts are needed in staffing and
programs,
plus call time. Response will increase now in Warren County,
one of the fastest growing districts in the state,
Kings Local has been granted the green light for a
new high school.
The bond issue asked for a
$142 million for school improvements and
53% of Ohio voters voting in favor of the upgrade.
Just a reminder, you can scan the QR code on
your screen,

like the US Senate down to the local candidates.
Again, local elections. Incredibly important.
