Bob Thompson for Pike County Commissioner

09/21/2026

My wife Nancy and I are members of the Pike Heritage Museum and as such are interested in preserving the courthouse constructed in 1865 in Waverly. We were glad to see that the museum was offering guided tours this past Saturday so we took advantage of that opportunity. Our tour guide was Judge Rob Junk.
A gentleman by the name of Josh Balogh has taken the quantum leap from that guided tour of the courthouse and has somehow tied that to corruption in the county.
FYI...I will NOT debate with anyone, including Mr. Balogh, who is that illogical and biased. His attack of my character is without foundation. End of conversation!

The courtroom in the Pike County Courthouse. We toured it today. Thanks to the Pike Heritage Museum and Judge Rob Junk for a great guided tour.

The state report cards were released today and the Olentangy Local School District is the largest district in the state that earned 5 stars!
5 stars is the highest rating the State Department of Education gives.
I’m proud to have been a part of Olentangy’s growth and success for 32 years! And I feel I can help Pike County in a similar manner. Vote for me for Pike County Commissioner on November 3.

Today is National Registration Day! If you or someone you know isn’t already registered to vote, please do so before October 6!
In my opinion, we’ve never had a more important election. Make sure your voice is heard in November!

I’m having a training session for our door to door campaign on Wednesday, September 16, 6:30 pm at Ritchie’s Restaurant in Piketon. If you’d like to see me elected as your next county commissioner consider coming out and helping us. Remember, politics is not a spectator sport!

I did another video today. It’s about the political labels we put on ourselves and others. Take a listen if you have a minute.
