Interview — Dillon Blevins, Candidate for Ohio House District 62 Dillon Blevins joins us to talk about his campaign for Ohio House District 62, his background growing up in Clermont County, his work as a local construction business owner, and his service in the U.S. Army Reserve. We talk about why he decided to run, what he learned from past campaigns, and why he believes this race matters for voters in Clermont County. The conversation covers several of the issues Dillon is campaigning on, including property tax relief for senior homeowners, cutting the state income tax, reviewing state spending, and his concerns about public construction costs, school funding, and government bidding requirements. He also shares his views on development, tax abatements, data centers, public pensions, abortion legislation, online gambling, marijuana policy, and the role of state government in local communities. We also talk about the tone of the race, campaign ads, political division, primary voter turnout, and why Dillon believes more residents should pay attention to contested races before the general election. May 5 Primary Election Issues  Clermont County Park District renewal levy  Clermont County Senior Services renewal levy  Clermont County Children’s Services renewal with an increase  Clermont County Board of Developmental Disabilities additional levy  Batavia Township Fire and EMS levy  Miami Township police, fire, and EMS safety services levy  New Richmond Exempted Village School District operating levy  Franklin Township cemetery levy  Batavia Township Aldi Sunday liquor sales option Follow on Facebook & Instagram, and signup for the Thursday newsletter.FacebookInstagramNewsletterIf the show brings you value, consider supporting us!Donate
