Seventy-five people with petitions to run for one of only nine seats on City Council. Incredible.
Far more than I have ever seen, and I have been covering Cincinnati politics since 1983.
That doesn t mean you are going to see 75 names on the ballot in the November election. Many of those people – mostly people you have likely never heard of, unless they are kin to you or live on your street – will never file those petitions. Many will struggle to get the signatures of 500 Cincinnati registered voters that they would need to qualify for the ballot.
But you may see 35, or some number a little north of that – which would still be a massive field trying to finish the election in the top nine.

This column is a look-ahead at politics in this corner of the world. It is not by any means a prediction of the future.

Anyone who tells you that he or she predicted a year ago all the weird twists and turns the politics of 2020 would take is fibbing, to put it mildly.
So you ll get no predictions for 2021 here. If that s what you are looking for, buy an Ouija board.
What follows is all about what is likely to transpire in this neck of the woods in the eagerly awaited 2021.
