Cincinnati’s mayor seeks a second term against a challenger with notable family ties in a municipal election next week. Democratic Mayor Aftab Pureval is running against Republican Cory Bowman for reelection in the Democratic stronghold on Nov. 4. Bowman is a pastor, cafe owner and the half brother of Vice President JD Vance. Pureval placed first in the nonpartisan May 6 primary with about 83% of the vote. Bowman placed a distant second with about 13% of the vote, which was enough to secure a spot on Tuesday’s ballot.
