Hamilton County Clerk of Courts Aftab Pureval defeated Cincinnati Councilman and former mayor David Mann in the general election for mayor of Cincinnati on November 2, 2021.[1] Pureval received 65.8 percent of the vote and Mann received 34.2 percent of the vote. Pureval was elected to serve a four-year term. The two advanced from a six-person primary on May 4 in which Pureval received 39.1 percent and Mann received 29.1 percent.

This election took place following the arrest of three of the nine city council members on felony corruption charges in 2020. The charges stemmed from allegations the members had taken bribes from developers for city business. One of those arrested, P.G. Sittenfeld, was considered the frontrunner in the mayoral election according to NBC News.[2][3] A fourth council member, Wendell Young, was charged with a third-degree felony count of tampering with records in April 2021.[4]

In a September 21 debate, both candidates referenced the corruption charges in stating their case to be mayor. Mann said that his experience in city hall would allow him to mentor the next city council, which he said would likely be younger and more inexperienced due to the city's term limits and the resignations following the corruption charges. Pureval said that he was a total newcomer to city hall who would continue to clean up corruption and said his firing of 15 people in the clerk of courts office was an instance where he had already done that.[5]

Although the elections for and position of the mayor were officially nonpartisan, the candidates running were affiliated with political parties. Both Mann and Pureval were Democrats.[6] Prior to this election, the last Republican to serve as mayor was Willis Gradison, who left office in 1971.

Mayor John Cranley was not able to file for re-election in 2021 due to term limits.[7] The other four candidates in the primary election were state Sen. Cecil Thomas, Gavi Begtrup, Herman Najoli, and Raffel Prophett. The filing deadline for this election was February 18, 2021.

The mayor serves as the city's chief executive and is responsible for proposing a budget, signing legislation into law, and appointing departmental directors. He or she presides over council meetings, proposes legislation for discussion, and holds the power to appoint or remove committee heads, but does not have the authority to vote. The mayor also represents the city on the state, national and international levels.[8][9]

David Mann

Mann’s campaign website stated the following:

“

Our beloved City has taken incredible hits in recent months with three out of nine members of council indicted on serious federal charges. The highest priority for the next Mayor of Cincinnati must be to restore honor at City Hall. We must institute safeguards which make graft, bribery and illegal conduct by members of council and any city employee as rare as possible. Even more important, we must build on these measures to earn back the trust and respect of all Cincinnatians. Until we have done so, we cannot move forward in the ways which are essential.

With our house in order, we can pursue these additional goals:

  • STOP CORRUPTION. David wrote the legislation creating the blue ribbon panel just appointed to review how business is done at city hall. It will recommend safeguards to minimize corruption by council members. Under David’s leadership, these changes will be put into effect as rapidly as possible.
  • BRIDGE THE GAP. Time’s up: we must address racial disparities in our community whether in health, employment, education, criminal justice, life expectancy, childhood poverty, infant mortality or any of the other measures that so dramatically confirm that we continue as a Tale of Two Cities—one black and one white.
  • REDUCE CRIME. We are losing too many young men and women to senseless shootings. Youth employment opportunities must be expanded and efforts to reach out and provide a path of hope to our youth must be a priority.
  • IMPROVE POLICE-COMMUNITY RELATIONS. This community was challenged by Timothy Thomas’ police involved death in 2001. Rioting occurred and calls for reform were loud and insistent. The ensuing Collaborative Agreement supervised by a local federal judge resulted in major reforms in Cincinnati policing, making Cincinnati’s police department a national model. We must build on our successes and do even better for our community.
  • ADDRESS PANDEMIC DAMAGE. As mayor, David will create a new office devoted exclusively to planning and carrying out post pandemic initiatives for our citizens and businesses.

To me, public service is a critical calling. It matters who serves and the integrity with which they do so. I count my twenty seven years of elected service as a great privilege. I have tried every day of my work to make smart, thoughtful decisions in the public interest as God has given me the wisdom and courage to do so. In all things political, balance is critical as we navigate a correct path given competing arguments and interests.

My experience, talents and reputation for collaboration are well suited to leading a council which will be one of the least experienced and youngest in history. I offer stability at a moment when it is most needed at City Hall. [20]

”
—David Mann’s campaign website (2021)[21]

Aftab Pureval

Pureval’s campaign website stated the following:

“

Rebuilding our Economy
We need strong leadership in the Mayor’s office to come out of the gate swinging with an aggressive economic recovery from COVID-19. As Mayor, I will rebuild our economy to make sure that prosperity is shared in every neighborhood — an economy with better wages, paid family leave, and opportunities for people to start and grow small businesses. This starts on day one by cutting red tape, providing navigators to help small businesses and working to leverage city dollars to support a diverse and talented pipeline of entrepreneurs.

COVID-19 has shone a light on the inequities in our society. Black and brown people, communities and businesses have been disproportionately affected by COVID due to systemic racism. We need to grow, but we need to grow equitably. We must take on the inequities in our justice, health care, housing and economic systems. As Mayor, I will put people first and prioritize making every Cincinnatian proud of their city.

Public Safety
Our relationship with local police officers is critical for our ability to lift up all 52 neighborhoods. We must confront the historic rise in crime during the COVID-19 pandemic and the urgent need for police reform. We must invest in public safety so every neighborhood is safe. This starts with leaning on what we know works: making sure police officers are active members of the communities they serve, walking the beat and maintaining relationships with those they protect.

We must also leverage our crisis response services in a more effective and efficient way. When 911 is called, there’s a good chance the services aren’t appropriate for the situation’s needs. As Mayor, I will work to expand 911 services to include unarmed, trained professionals to handle response calls. This can free up police officers to do their work and more effectively build relationships in the city. These efforts, along with fully funding the Citizen Complaint Authority, can make a tangible difference as we rebuild our trust and bonds with those serving in uniform. Reforming our justice system is not just important for our Black and brown communities; it’s important for all of us.

Affordable Housing
Our city must commit to affordable housing. This starts with a strategy that brings all of us together to get serious about funding the affordable housing trust fund. We have to leverage city dollars to partner with our local corporations, institutional philanthropies, and most importantly with the federal government to raise the resources necessary. As Mayor, I will create incentives to include affordable housing, fight to allow multi-family zoning, and expand the affordable housing trust fund. I will build an infrastructure that puts us in a position to succeed, rather than one that doesn’t use city dollars as effectively as it could.

We also need a real commitment to tenants’ rights. We need a housing court to hold bad landlords accountable and support tenants and homeowners who want to grow with their neighborhoods. And we have to balance the playing field in eviction court by working to ensure greater access to lawyers and legal services for tenants who can’t afford representation. For too long our city has not been committed to affordable housing. As Mayor, I will change that.

Basic Services
If you care about the city making sure the streets are plowed and the garbage is picked up, you need to hire the Hamilton County Clerk of Courts. City departments are short staffed and asked to do more than ever — and with fewer resources. We need a Mayor who will reinvest in our basic services. Every day, I work to make sure the Courthouse is running effectively and efficiently. I reformed an antiquated and inefficient office and leaned into innovation and creativity, creating an award-winning legal help center to support those most vulnerable during this pandemic. And we saved millions of taxpayers dollars while doing it. As Mayor, I will deliver the same approach to making sure Cincinnatians receive the basic services they depend on.

[20]

City council arrests and charges

Between 2020 and 2021, four city council members were charged and arrested in connection to various crimes. These incidents helped make corruption and internal issues in city hall an important issue in this race. This section details these incidents.

On Feb. 25, 2020, Tamaya Dennard was arrested and charged with wire fraud, bribery, and attempted extortion.[25] According to a press release from the U.S. Attorney's Office for the Southern District of Ohio, Dennard "allegedly requested between $10,000 and $15,000" in exchange for votes on issues before the city council.[26] Dennard resigned on March 2, saying in a statement, "It is with great sadness that I announce my resignation, effective today, March 2, 2020. The last thing I want is to be a distraction from the work that needs to be done for this city."[27] She entered a guilty plea on a charge of wire fraud in federal court on June 29 and was sentenced to 18 months in prison.[28] The bribery and attempted extortion charges were dropped.[29]

On Nov. 10, 2020, Jeff Pastor was arrested on federal bribery charges. He was charged with 10 counts, including wire fraud, bribery, attempted extortion by a government official, and money laundering.[30] Pastor was suspended from the city council on Nov. 23.[31] At the time of the 2021 mayoral election, Pastor's trial date was set for May 2022.[32]

On Nov. 19, 2020, P.G. Sittenfeld was arrested on charges that he accepted bribes in exchange for favorable votes. He was charged with two counts of honest services wire fraud, two counts of bribery, and two counts of attempted extortion by a government official.[33][34] Sittenfeld was suspended from the city council on Dec. 7.[35] At the time of the 2021 mayoral election, Sittenfeld's trial date was set for June 2022.[36]

On April 15, 2021, Wendell Young was indicted on one charge of tampering with records. Special prosecutor Patrick Hanley said that Young "knowingly and with the purpose to defraud, destroyed text messages that belonged to a government entity."[37] Young's lawyer, Scott Croswell, said, "I reviewed the indictment and we intend to defend it vigorously."[38] A vote to suspend Young from the council on May 26 failed. The vote required seven members to approve, but only six of the eight members voted to suspend Young while two members abstained.[39]
