Hamilton County Sheriff Simon Leis announced last week that he will not seek reelection after the end of his current term.
The Enqurier reports that Leis stated his Chief Deputy, Sean Donovan, plans to run for Sheriff next year. I know nothing about Donovan, but I would think there would be many possible candidates considering running. I am not sure a Leis supporter would get a lot of Republican primary support, since Leis broke with the party on many issues recently, namely with his belief that the county needs funding and can't be starved to death by Monzel and Hartmann.
Don't forget that Leis spoke out in favor of the Streetcar - heresy in the GOP world.
ReplyDeleteDonovan is a nice guy, downtown resident and owner of City Cellars, a downtown business.
