Local Democrats in Cincinnati gathered for a campaign fundraising event for Democratic vice presidential candidate Tim Walz, who headlined the event for Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign. The event was held at the National Underground Railroad Freedom Center and featured a mix of local politicians and activists. Walz delivered a message about Democratic values, emphasizing the importance of turning out the vote in Ohio. Former Ohio Health Director Dr. Amy Acton and other notable figures were also in attendance.
Protestors from the Students for Justice in Palestine University of Cincinnati chapter shared their message outside the event, calling for an arms embargo. Actor and activist Mario Van Peebles also attended, expressing the importance of supporting the Democratic ticket. The event was held in Republican vice presidential candidate JD Vance’s backyard in Cincinnati.
Cincinnati is seen as an important stronghold for Democrats nationally, with the city playing a significant role in fundraising and campaigning efforts. While Ohio is considered less of a swing state, Cincinnati remains relevant on the national stage for Democrats. Ohio Senator Sherrod Brown, who is up for reelection, will rely on support from the Greater Cincinnati area in the upcoming election. Overall, the event showcased the energy and commitment of local Democrats in Cincinnati as they gear up for the election.
