    How we will report the 2022 November 8 Mid-Term Election results

    Loveland, Ohio – On the night of the 2022 November 8 Mid-Term Election, Loveland Magazine will begin tabulating the local results we feel are of most interest to our Loveland Area readers.

    As usual, we will probably be at the calculator and election board websites late into the night, and into the early morning if results come in slowly.

    When readers awake on Wednesday morning we want to give you as complete a picture of the results as possible in an easy-to-read format.

    Below is our preliminary spreadsheet of how our report will look.

    If you see corrections that need to be made or races or issues we have left out, please do let us know. You can send your comments to editor@lovelandmagazine.com.

    NOTE: We will publish our results as soon as the three counties Loveland is in, Clermont, Hamilton, and Warren report their “Unofficial” counts and when 100% of precinct votes have been tabulated by each county BOE.

  • Sen. Rob Portman announces he will not run for re-election in 2022

    Sen. Rob Portman announces he will not run for re-election in 2022

    By Tyler Buchanan and Ohio Capital Journal

    Sen. Rob Portman announced Monday he would not be running for a third term in the U.S. Senate in 2022.

    The Cincinnati Republican said he intends to use his final two years in public office to “get a lot done,” noting a hopefulness of working with the Biden administration on the COVID-19 pandemic response and other legislative priorities. This would cap off a decades-long career in public service for Portman, 65, who previously served as U.S. Representative as well as budget chief and U.S. trade representative under President George W. Bush. 

    Portman’s announcement opens the door for a Republican primary in 2022 and for Democrats to face another non-incumbent instead of a well-financed incumbent who won his 2010 and 2016 Senate elections comfortably.

    “I feel fortunate to have been entrusted by the people of Ohio to represent them in the US Senate,” Portman said in a statement, calling it “an honor” to have served.

    Various Ohio political figures issued statements Monday in support of Portman. Gov. Mike DeWine called the senator a “key partner” during the pandemic response and Secretary of State Frank LaRose described him as being “what our founders hoped for in a public servant when they wrote our Constitution — a statesman.”

    Sen. Sherrod Brown, an Ohio Democrat who has served alongside Portman since 2011, noted the two have not always agreed with each other on policy but have “always been able to put our differences aside to do what’s best for Ohio.”

    A more detailed report from the Ohio Capital Journal on Sen. Portman’s announcement is forthcoming.
