Honored and humbled to officially win tonight’s primary for Clermont County commissioner with 70.1% of the vote. Thank you, Clermont County! On to the general election this November!

It’s Election Day, Clermont County (and Ohio and others)!

Polls are open until 7:30 p.m. — there’s still time to make your voice heard. You can find your polling location here: https://voterlookup.ohiosos.gov/voterlookup.aspx

I spent part of the afternoon out at Batavia High School talking with voters, and I’ll be traveling across the county the rest of the day and evening, checking in at polling locations.

If you haven’t voted yet, now’s the time. Show up, cast your ballot, and be part of the decision.

Let’s finish strong. Thank you for your kind support. It's been amazing.

I’m running for Clermont County Commissioner to bring fiscal discipline, transparency and accountable leadership back to Clermont.

I'm an experienced watchdog for taxpayers, and I’ll make sure you always know exactly what’s going on in our county. Early voting is open from now until May 5th. I hope I can count on your support.

Say NO to unfair tax abatements. Giving out tax abatements to developments that don't need it is not smart growth for Clermont County. I'll make sure new development doesn't raise costs, burden public services or happen without your knowledge.

I'm Joe Wessels. I'm a proud father of three running for Clermont Commissioner because I can't sit by as local government drives up costs for families and weakens services. Together, we will bring back accountable leadership.

I made a video about non-disclosure agreements signed by public officials in our area. As someone running for Clermont County Commissioner, I believe transparency and accountability are essential. In the video I explain how these NDAs can affect our community, why the public deserves to know, and what I will do to increase openness if elected. Please watch, share with your neighbors, and tell me what you think...

I’m running for Clermont County Commissioner because I believe county government should work for the people who live here.

I’ll be a watchdog for taxpayers and push for transparency and responsible growth.

If you’re with me, I’m asking for your support. Thank you!

James Earl Jones's passing was more of a milestone than I first realized. The more I thought about it, saw social post after post and then unearthed my thoughts about a man I had not spent really that much time thinking about when he was alive, the more I realized what a profound loss this was for my generation.

He was *the* main voice of my life, of our lives, an instantly recognizable quake that meant authority. And I can barely think of anyone else who might come closer and in so many ways. Godspeed, sir.

Here's my favorite clip of him that I have seen so far (and there are quite a few). And this one seems so appropriate today, this year, and right now.
