Pepper to Challenge for Democratic Nomination for Heimlich's Seat

David Pepper showed up to the Democratic Committee meeting Saturday morning.

He showed to tell the Hamilton County Democratic Party Nominating Committee that he is committed to run for County Commissioner for the seat held by Phil Heimlich.

The committee then voted unanimously to make a recommendation to the HCDP Executive Committee to endorse Pepper for County Commissioner.

Hamilton County's Republican stronghold has significantly dissipated since the 2000 election. The numbers in Bush's second victory were cut in half in 2004, and the "strongholds" have moved to what are known as the necklace counties such as Butler and Warren.

The executive board will vote on Pepper's nomination at their next meeting which has yet to be announced.

If Pepper receives the endorsement, it will only mean that he is endorsed and will still have to run in a primary if challengers receive the proper amount of signatures.
