Two former Cincinnati mayors made surprise last minute endorsements ahead of Tuesday's Cincinnati mayoral primary.
Former mayor Mark Mallory told The Enquirer he believes Hamilton County Clerk of Courts Aftab Pureval is the candidate that can bring needed change to City Hall.
Former mayor Charlie Luken told The Enquirer that Councilman David Mann's experience is what the city needs now.
Mallory and Luken know most of the candidates and have been quietly watching which of the two candidates will emerge to battle it out in the general election, but both said the city is at such a critical juncture they felt it was time weigh in.
