2026 Annual Fundraiser: Boots, BBQ & Blue - June 27

 "We can't shop our way out of this.
We can't coupon our way out of this.
We can't discount our way out of this.
The answer to affordability is better wages, better jobs, and an economy built to serve the people who do the work."
— Brian Griffin, Cincinnati AFL-CIO Labor Council Executive Secretary-Treasurer 

 At our annual fundraiser, Representative Allison Russo, candidate for Secretary of State, spoke on election laws, gerrymandering, and the unchecked balance of power at the State House, remarks that resonated with everyone in the room. 

 Councilman Seth Walsh, candidate for State Treasurer, brought the energy at our annual fundraiser, laying out how a State Treasurer should work for us: putting money back into working people's pockets and rebuilding our communities instead of selling out to billionaires. 

Allison Russo, February 8, 2026

A strong crowd of engaged voters from Brown and Adams Counties gathered for a timely discussion on the importance of Ohio’s Secretary of State and the growing concerns around voting rights and election access. Representative Russo emphasized why the next Secretary of State must be ready to lead on day one, especially in the face of Ohio’s Republican supermajority.

Drawing on her experience as former Ohio House Minority Leader, Russo shared how Democrats have used every tool available to push back against some of the most harmful proposals and protect democratic processes. The conversation was thoughtful and wide-ranging, with many questions from the audience, and attendees left better informed and energized about what’s at stake.

Building Country Roads Listening Tour 2025

The Ohio Democratic Rural Caucus's November 8th stop in Wilmington was a tremendous success, drawing an impressive turnout from constituents across rural Southwestern Ohio. Attendees brought thoughtful questions, candid concerns, and valuable local perspectives to the conversation.

Rural Caucus Chair Chris Gibbs and his team engaged in open, productive dialogue throughout the morning, ensuring that every voice in the room was heard. The strong participation and honesty shared during this session reflect just how deeply rural Ohioans care about the future of their communities.

We are now awaiting the compiled data and full analysis from all tour stops across rural Ohio. Once complete, these insights will guide the development of a comprehensive action plan for 2026 - one that accurately reflects the priorities and needs expressed by Ohio’s rural residents.

An Evening With Kathleen Clyde


On Thursday, October 16, 2025 the Brown County Democratic Central Committee hosted a full room of residents at the Brown County Educational Service Center in Georgetown to welcome Kathleen Clyde, Chairwoman of the Ohio Democratic Party.

Clyde shared her history of public service and her deep roots in rural Ohio, emphasizing the Ohio values that have guided her career. She spoke about her commitment to listening to all parts of the state - not just the cities, and her vision for how Democrats can win up and down the ballot. Her message focused on protecting our shared values in rural communities and building the momentum needed statewide to elect more Democrats in 2026 and beyond.

Light refreshments were served, and attendees appreciated the opportunity to hear directly from Chairwoman Clyde about her inclusive vision for Ohio’s future.

2025 Ohio Rising Dinner - Columbus, OH

 

Brown County Democrats were proud to attend the sold-out Ohio Rising Dinner on October 11th, with a full table of ten representing the county. The evening featured inspiring remarks from Kathleen Clyde, Chair of the Ohio Democratic Party; Sherrod Brown, candidate for U.S. Senate; and Dr. Amy Acton, candidate for Governor of Ohio.

It was an energizing night filled with vision and purpose as we heard directly from leaders who are committed to building a stronger, fairer, and more hopeful Ohio. Our members also had the opportunity to meet and speak with these candidates, sharing perspectives from Brown County and reaffirming our commitment to helping move Ohio forward.

Brown County Democratic Club Fall Fundraiser 2025

 The Brown County Democratic Club held its annual Fall Fundraiser on October 7th at Sons of Toil Brewing in Mt Orab, featuring guest speaker Rachel Coyle, co-founder of How Things Work at the Ohio Statehouse. Coyle, who described herself as “obsessed with everything related to the Ohio Statehouse,” emphasized the growing importance of state-level action as more responsibilities shift from the federal government to the states. She discussed topics including redistricting, local schools, and the importance of contacting state representatives. She took thoughtful questions from attendees on property taxes, gerrymandering, and school vouchers. The well-attended evening concluded with a silent auction of delicious baked goods donated by members and supporters. 

 Coyle encouraged attendees to contact their state legislators, pointing out that it’s far easier to reach state representatives and their staff than many realize. 

2025 Brown County Fair - 9/22 to 9/27

This year's story...

 

What a week! The fair began with a canceled parade due to a tornado warning, but our “kitchen table issues” theme carried through in our fair building, where many said it looked better than ever. Despite the heat, rain, and lighter crowds, we were humbled by how many people stopped in to share thanks and talk about the issues that matter most.

We’re especially grateful for the new volunteers who stepped up and for those who returned to action again. None of this happens without the support and dedication of our team.

We’ll continue meeting our neighbors, listening to their concerns, and working tirelessly to build a stronger Brown County. We are here to stay - fighting for the people, the promise, and the future we believe in.
