Who will be in your corner?

Loveland, Ohio – These events will be your chance to personally meet the local politicians who want to be part of the teams leading the Loveland City School District and Loveland City Council for the next 1,440 days. Four-long years, so this is important!

On October 21 the Little Miami River Chamber Alliance, Loveland Magazine, and LOVELAND MAGAZINE TV will host the contenders for seats on the school board, and on October 14 they will bring together on a public stage your job applicants for Loveland City Council.

City Council – October 14, at 7:00 PM at the Loveland Middle School/Intermediate School Cafeteria.

School Board – October 21, at 7:00 PM at the Loveland Middle School/Intermediate School Cafeteria.

Mulvey graduated from Loveland High School in 2013 and has a Financial degree from Ohio State. He was a writer, on-air personality, and “talking head” for five years at Loveland Magazine and reported from Presidential campaigns, interviewed nationally known sports figures, and interviewed a Federal Judge.

Mulvey was a co-moderator for the Loveland Magazine TV community question and answer forum during the school board election of 2013.

Hamilton County Judge and former Loveland Mayor Brad Greenberg will be the Ring Announcer and Emcee for the City Council Forum.

Greenberg is a veteran host for our City Council Forums.

Greenberg has served in Municipal Court since 2006. Greenberg also presides over Hamilton County’s Municipal Veteran’s Court. Veteran’s Treatment Court is a judge-supervised treatment program whose goal is to help United States Veterans address the issues that led to contact with the criminal justice system.

Greenberg represents District 5 which includes Sycamore Township, Symmes Township, Loveland, Blue Ash, Montgomery, Sharonville, Madeira, Indian Hill, Reading, Deer Park, Springdale, Glendale, Evendale, and Terrace Park.

Prior to becoming a judge, Greenberg spent 12 years as an assistant Hamilton County prosecutor.  He prosecuted over 1000 felony cases and tried over 75 jury trials including numerous homicide cases.  In 2004, Greenberg was named Chief of the Grand Jury Division.  He was also the Chief Prosecutor for Child Pornography, a member of the Riot Prosecution Task Force, and an instructor at the Cincinnati Police Academy.

In 2005, Greenberg left the Prosecutor’s Office to become the Administrator of the Hamilton County Clerk of Courts where he managed a staff of 320 employees.  Greenberg was also the Prosecutor for the City of Madeira for eight years.

Greenberg graduated from Wyoming High School, The Ohio State University, and the University of Virginia School of Law.

Greenberg served on Loveland City Council for nine years including two years as Mayor and two years as Vice-Mayor. He and his family live in Loveland.

Will there be undisputed champs?

Election fans can see if the contenders roll with the punches, stick and move, or have promises that pack a punch. Will you see any future respected political figures or elder statesmen/women?

Both of these heavyweight championship Forums will be broadcast “LIVE” on the Loveland Magazine FaceBook Page. It’s not Pay-per-View and tickets are not required – it’s totally FREE!

Who knows, there might be some highfalutin’ good ideas that come from one or more of these candidates that can transform Loveland. There will almost certainly be some re-hashing the past but that will be OK if it leads to knowledge of what the future might hold.

Politicians routinely offer more promises than they keep, however hearing them straight from their mouths is the start of holding them accountable. Meeting them in person is always better than voting based on the number of yard signs and you can be a political influencer if you can say, “I actually heard her say it!”

If you cannot attend in person or chose to be inside the safety of your own home you may want to tune in LIVE to be in-the-know.

The format will follow the same as in the past:

  • To begin, candidates will each present their platform for 2 minutes and tell you why they are running for office.
  • Questions will be asked for 60 minutes allowing each candidate two minutes to reply or pass.
  • After 60 minutes candidates are asked to close with 2-minute speeches.

Voters can throw their written questions into the octagon and all questions will be screened for duplicity by independent ring-side judges. The emcees will ask as many of the questions as time allows in the 60 minutes.

You the registered voters of the City of Loveland and the Loveland City School District however will be the crucial and critically important judges come November 2 so reserve your ring-side seat by saving these dates.
