Hamilton GOP committee picks Yaede

Hamilton Township’s Republican Committee unanimously backed Mayor Kelly Yaede’s bid for a third term.

“I extend my sincere thank you to the Hamilton Township Republican Committee for their outstanding support” said Yaede.  “When I took this oath of office almost seven years ago I told Hamilton that it was people before politics, no exceptions.  Our administration has done just that; ignoring the petty politics that goes on inside the council chambers and focusing on getting real things done for the people of Hamilton”

The mayor faces a primary challenge from David Henderson, a fierce Yaede critic.

Council President Jeff Martin is seeking the Democratic nod. His party won a 3-2 majority on the town’s council in 2017. If Democrats win Yaede’s seat, they’ll have won full control of the town.
