Speaker 1 (00:01):
It is eight forty seven I fifty five Krsit talks
station of course, election that was yesterday, even though nobody
showed up. City of Cincinnati's got a population of a
little north of three hundred thousand people and only about
twenty one thousand people even got up to vote. That's
kind of disturbing. Welcome back to the fifty five Cassey
Morning Show. Came in number two. He's in a runoff
with aftab par Ball. Corey Bowman, Good to have you
(00:23):
back on the show.
Speaker 2 (00:25):
Good more and Brian, how you doing.
Speaker 1 (00:27):
I'm doing fine. I'm just a little I obviously was
hoping for better numbers for you, and it's an odd thing.
I'm sure you saw the article in the Cincinni Inquire
or Hyde Park. They actually had more than ten percent
show up. They had fifteen percent, and they interviewed one
lady who said, even though she's pissed off at aftab
par Ball in council, she still voted for him against
her best interest. She just will not vote for a
(00:48):
Republican period. End of story. I don't understand that. It's
you know, the city's been running to the ground last
forty years. What are the Democrats actually done for the
people of the city of Cincinnati, generally speaking, and they
keep going back to the wall. It's the definition is
stupid doing the same thing over and over again and
expecting a different outcome. Corey, your reaction to the outcome,
and I suppose you can hit the ground running with
(01:12):
the with the campaign between now and November.
Speaker 2 (01:16):
Yeah, Well, first I want to know, thank every single
person that actually did get out and vote. You know,
I know a lot of times we're going to focus
on who didn't show up, but let's focus on the
people that did show up and got out and voted
for the first Republican nominees that's hit the city in
the last fifteen sixteen years. And so I see that
as accomplishment in itself. And yeah, it might have been
(01:38):
a low turnout about ten percent, but ever since we
first started this, you know, we had about two and
a half weeks to get over five hundred signatures to
get on the ballot. I look as we had about
two and a half months to get the votes that
we got, and so that's giving us an opportunity the
next seven months to hit the ground running to advance
in this stent.
Speaker 1 (01:57):
Well, and I wish you all the best as you
do that. I guess you have a You're going to
have a lot of outreach to do. Do you plan
on going to all the neighborhoods in the city of
Cincinnati between now November?
Speaker 2 (02:09):
Well, yeah, you have to. Yeah, we are. Our job
the next seven months is we've been put in a
position to be able to convince people that we're the
right candidate for mayor of Cincinnati, and so over the
course of the last two and a half months, we've
been able to reach certain amounts of people, and we've
been able to do the best with what we have,
and I'm very happy with what we've been able to accomplish.
(02:30):
But like many people text me this morning, like I've
texted many other people, the work has just started. And
so we hit the ground running starting today all the
way to November, and we're excited.
Speaker 1 (02:41):
I'm sure you are. Given the lopsided nature of the vote,
I guess pur of all got eighty three percent. You
came in at thirteen. A lot of people might have
said they had the wind taken out of their sales,
but I still have to go back to the number
of voters that showed up. I mean, twenty one thousand
people determined the destiny of the city the Cincinnati, at
least in terms of who the candidates are. You worry
(03:03):
about that in the fall, like getting people off the
couch and getting them out to vote. There's nothing doesn't
There's a lot of criticism loving against the Hamilton County
Republican Party generally speaking, I'd like to think that they
would really engage in an effort to get people out
to the polls in the city. I know they view that,
you know, it's like bring the flag out, we're all
done in the city. But there's a lot of work
(03:24):
and a lot of effort that they could step up
with the plate and provide you before we get to
November in the election day.
Speaker 2 (03:31):
Yeah, I believe that we're going to see that. You know,
like I said, we haven't had a nominee in over
fifteen years, and I believe that not only is this important,
but over the course of the summer and fall, we
have to put strong people forward to run for council
as well. And so this is a very big ship
that we're going to turn on a very small rudder,
and so every step of the way matters. Every vote
(03:52):
counts every single poll worker that I saw yesterday. Those
are vital to the election process, and we're very thankful
for every everything that has happened so far. But yeah,
what if I would talk to any Republican in the city,
if I would talk to anybody night, even Republican, but
anybody that's just fed up with the city. Next seven months,
we're not going to be running on a candidate. We're
(04:13):
going to be running on city issues. And I think
that's what's going to turn people out the vote. Is
if we can convince people and get people to know
where we stand on these vital issues for our city
and know that we're going to have policies, we're going
to have actions from day one in place that are
going to benefit the citizens of our city. Well, then
we're going to turn out more vote in November.
Speaker 1 (04:33):
And I know Corey where you are on the issues,
and they're all just very grounded in common sense, logic
and reason. You know, efforts that will benefit all of
the residents in all of the communities. There's really nothing
divisive about your message. This isn't like you know, something
like abortion, like oh my god, that you know, the
the polar opposite sides of the equation. You got your
(04:55):
pro livers and you've got your pro abortion folks. You're
never going to reconcile those and divisive issue nothing. What
you have run on talked about what you want to
accomplish for the city is like even I would argue political.
Speaker 3 (05:09):
No, well, I think that what we got to do,
because you can't see this at like let's say, if
we're speaking on who got the most votes yesterday, well
you if you actually have a heart for the city
and local government, you can't see that as a definite
win when only ten percent of voters showed up. And
so what we have to see it as is we
have to give the ninety percent of voters that didn't
(05:32):
show up today yesterday, We've got to give them a
reason to get out in November. And that's what we're
going to be working our rear ends off the next
seven months to show people on these issues that it's
going to be worth getting out the vote, to letting
them know what the dates are, letting them know where
the polling locations are. But then honestly too is having
those interactions with people to let them know that we're
(05:54):
the right candidate for the job, and so I haven't
lost any hope. I know that there's a lot of
people that might have the win down of their sales,
but if anybody's listened to me, I'm telling you, we
are more motivated than ever before.
Speaker 2 (06:05):
And this was just a next step. Like I said,
we had two and a half weeks to get five
hundred signatures.
Speaker 3 (06:11):
We got them.
Speaker 2 (06:12):
We had two and a half months to go in
second place to be able to get on the bout
in November.
Speaker 3 (06:17):
We got it.
Speaker 2 (06:17):
And so every step of the way, we're going to
see milestone after milestone every month, and we're going to
fight this thing to be able to see a great
turnout in November.
Speaker 1 (06:27):
I appreciate your optimism and enthusiasm, getting people ginned up
and not throwing the towel. That's what it's all about.
