This morning, I joined City Manager Long,
@CMReggieHarris
, CM
@Jcramerding
and community leaders to bring forward a fundamental and necessary change to the way Cincinnati is designed: our Connected Communities plan.
Yeah. Deserved that.
Congrats to KC on a well-fought win, and good luck in Arizona.
Proud of our fans and our
@bengals
for the energy all year.
Who Dey!
Welcome,
@POTUS
, to Greater Cincinnati! We are thrilled our President is choosing to visit Kentucky and Ohio to celebrate the historic $1.6 billion in federal money going towards the Brent Spence Bridge project! This is a long time coming.
#MyNameIs
Aftab. It means sunshine. In one generation, my parents have gone from immigrating to this country to watching their son serve as an elected official.
I can’t wait to vote for
@JoeBiden
and
@KamalaHarris
because they value diversity and believe in our American story.
President Obama inspired me to get involved in public service. It is surreal and incredible to have his endorsement. As he told us, we are the ones we’ve been waiting for. Change starts with us. And in 100 days, we’re going to make it happen here.
#FiredUp
#ReadyToGo
Today I’m proud to endorse such a wide and impressive array of Democratic candidates – leaders as diverse, patriotic, and big-hearted as the America they’re running to represent:
Cincinnati, I’m here with some amazing news for the future of our City. Just this morning, we have been awarded over $1.6 billion in federal funding for the Brent Spence Bridge Corridor Project.
We ARE Cincinnati. And we couldn’t be more proud of this team — these
@Bengals
will never stop fighting, and they aren’t going anywhere. This city stands tall tonight.
Who Dey.
Hello
@NYCMayor
, wondering if you’d like to join the Bengals bandwagon as we take on Loss Angeles?
This Sunday, New York’s five boroughs, by your declaration, could be unofficially declared “Burrows” during the game.
#WhoDeyCincy
I like romantic comedies. Love Actually is my favorite. That movie came out 14 years ago. Steve Chabot was in Congress then. He's still there today. Movies can stick around for years but our members of Congress don't have to. After 22 years, let's change Washington.
#OH01
Today I am endorsing
@JoeBiden
for President. He is a good and decent man who will stand up for working families and restore America’s place in the world.
We cannot afford 4 more years of Donald Trump, and we all must do everything we can to unite our party and win.
#TeamJoe
Cincinnati is fired up to vote for
@TimRyan
as our next U.S. Senator! We need a leader who has put in the work to understand the challenges of every Ohioan. Someone who cares about us and leans into the sacred responsibility of serving us.
That leader is Tim Ryan.
Both of these bills are recklessly partisan and would hurt Ohio women and families. Thanks to Governor Kasich for vetoing them. Shame on the legislature for passing them in the first place.
I’m running for Congress because we need a new direction for our country and a new generation of leadership. We are the ones we’ve been waiting for. Let’s do this together.
#AftabforOhio
The CINCINNATI
@Bengals
are going to the SUPER BOWL.
We don’t care about who doubted this team all year long. We’re here.
And CINCINNATI IS HERE TO STAY!!
WHO DEY!!!!
Mayor-elect
@BibbforCLE
and I are honored to be at the White House today discussing the Biden-Harris Administration’s Build Back Better Agenda and our shared priorities for cities.
Thank you
@POTUS
for making sure Ohio cities have a seat at the table!
In a crisis, leaders lead. Ohio is in a crisis. COVID cases are on the rise. Mike DeWine is failing to lead.
This is not the time for suggestions or recommendations. We need a governor that will make policies to save lives.
Bengals nation, Lol. I hear you. My competitive juices and love for cincy got the best of me. My bad. Staying hungry and humble. See you Sunday. Who Dey baby!
My thanks to
@JohnLegend
for coming home to Ohio to help get out the vote for me and the entire the Democratic slate. Be sure to stick around until the end of this clip.
These next two days we are all fighting for Ohio's future. Let's go make history!
Steve Chabot and Donald Trump were in Lebanon last night talking about Robert E. Lee and Kanye West. I’m here today talking to voters about their health care and jobs.
#VoteAftab
This is what leadership looks like.
@JoeyB
is loved and followed by so many of us for how he represents our city on the field, and he continues to use his powerful voice for good.
Our quarterback stands with Cincinnatians in demanding action on gun violence.
Bengals QB Joe Burrow, on gun reform: “If you’re not going to outlaw everything, you’ve gotta at least make it harder to get those crazy guns that everybody’s using.” Here’s his full response, via
@bengals
:
Our
@Bengals
showcased Cincinnati’s resilience and swagger on the world stage. We are thrilled to honor this incredible run and thank them for their contributions to our great city.
Please join us tomorrow at 5 pm for a rally in Washington Park honoring the AFC Champions!
A 17-year-old was radicalized by the hate and racism of Donald Trump, then he bought an AR-15 because of our insane gun laws, and shot peaceful protesters.
If you’re not pissed off and ready to vote like your life depends on it, you are not paying attention.
Cincinnati, a great new chapter lies before us. There will be challenges and hard decisions, but I commit to you this: I will work hard every day to make you proud of our city.
Time to get to work.
‼️Cincinnati has been awarded a $20 million grant to improve street safety! ‼️ Thank you
@SenSherrodBrown
for your strong work and advocacy, and
@SecretaryPete
for supporting our vision for improved transportation and economic growth.
@USDOT
So grateful to have the endorsement of
@KamalaHarris
, a champion for justice and equality. Great to have her join us for our
@OHDems
dinner tonight. We are fired up and ready to change our country.
#ODPDinner18
.
@staceyabrams
should have been elected Governor of Georgia but the system was rigged against her. So she got to work, expanded the electorate, and now, she is going to deliver us the presidency. 👑
To the thousands of women in our city who are terrified, confused, and angry right now—I say this: you are not alone. And Cincinnati is going to fight like hell for you.
Any republican (ahem
@robportman
) who doesn’t call out the shameful, dangerous lies we just heard from Donald Trump is putting party over country, risking our democratic process, and deserves to be defeated.
Something special is happening in Warren County. 150 people out here in Mason as we open our Mason HQ. All over the district, people are looking for change and our incredible volunteers are going to make it happen.
#TeamAftab
Honored to have your support, Fred. We think of you and your family and Jamie often. In Congress, I will work to help end gun violence so other families don’t have to endure what you have.
@AftabPureval
, as someone who has had the chance to spend time with you in Cincinnati, I agree with Chelsea. My Cincinnati family will be fortunate to have you representing them.
Thank you to
@SecretaryPete
for meeting with me to discuss our application for $2 billion in support of the Brent Spence Bridge Corridor.
We are working hard to advocate for strong federal partnership on our region’s critical transportation priorities.
Thanks to
@johnlegend
for coming to Cincinnati and firing up
@OHDems
. Come join us at the Board of Elections until 5 today and cast your vote for change.
#WeVoteWeWin
Cincinnati and its local government profoundly, unabashedly, and unequivocally support a woman’s right to choose – and we will do everything in our power to preserve that right.
It’s been a challenging week after a very difficult year. Our country is at a critical moment, and our city is too. And that’s why I’m so excited to announce my candidacy to be Cincinnati’s next mayor!
Let’s get to work. Drop a comment below to join our team 👇🏽
This is not your grandparents’ Cincinnati. We’re young, diverse, energetic — and we’re ready to accomplish incredible things.
Honored to have the chance to talk about our momentum with Politico:
My team is happy to be up in Columbus today to help elect Danny O’Connor to Congress. If you live in the district, get out and vote. Danny is the real deal.

Our Supreme Court, Congress, and State legislature have failed us. Local officials must do whatever we can to protect the women of our communities. It is not my job to make it easier for the
state legislature and governor to drag women back to the 50’s and strip their
rights…
Today is my 40th birthday and my staff surprised me by decorating my office! Coming into work and serving our great City brings me so much joy: there’s no other way I’d rather spend this day! Thank you all for the birthday wishes!
US Border Patrol has just launched tear gas into Mexico. Breeze carrying it hundreds of yards. Parents running away with choking toddlers.
#migrantcaravan
Thank you to
@Morning_Joe
for having me on to talk about our work to keep residents safe.
@JoeBiden
and Democratic mayors are stepping up to deliver results.
.
@AftabPureval
: "Homicides are down by 18%, and it's because we have the funding necessary [for] public safety...There's a lot of talk in DC about defunding the police. In reality, it's
@JoeBiden
& Democratic mayors across the country who are funding & supporting the police."
We’ve got your back, Damar!
It has been heartwarming to see the outpouring of support from those in our City. Our very own
@CincyShirts
created these Damar Hamlin inspired t-shirts. 100% of the proceeds will be going to his Chasing M’s Foundation. Be sure to grab one!
The Supreme Court just stripped away the fundamental right to reproductive health care. They turned their backs on generations of progress and sacrifice.
We won’t stand for this, and we’re going to fight like hell.
First, this morning, I am introducing legislation to repeal a 2001 ordinance that currently restricts the City’s ability to cover elective abortions in its health plan.
Tonight, as Donald Trump comes to Cincinnati, we stand up and say:
This is our America. We love it. We’re not leaving it. It’s our home. And it’s worth fighting for.
We are going to win in 2020, and when we do, we will send a message that love will always trump hate.
An old proverb says: When you pray, move your feet. Thanks to an American hero
@repjohnlewis
for coming to Cincinnati today and reminding us we need more than words. We need action. We need to vote. If we do, in 23 days, we will change our country.
First time canvassing thanks to the guilt trip from
@jonfavs
and the rest of the
@PodSaveAmerica
crew. Really great experience. Vote
@AftabPureval
in November (or earlier)!
Last night, we went to sleep mourning the tragedy in El Paso. Today, we wake up to another mass shooting, this time in my beloved and resilient hometown of Dayton. It’s too much. My God.
Praying for the victims and their families.
To our leaders: stop tweeting. Go fix this.
Biden encourages reporters to “put down your cameras and eat some peach cobbler”
“Really good,” he says. “Seriously.”
@HerbieZiskend46
putting you in charge of procuring some for the press cabin
This is deeply disturbing. Paul Ryan’s super PAC illegally obtained classified records then leaked them for political purposes. Steve Chabot and all Republicans who take campaign cash from
@CLFSuperPAC
should condemn this immediately.
What an honor it was standing alongside these
@uc_health
heroes this morning. We gave them a Key to the City for their lifesaving care of Buffalo Bills safety Damar Hamlin.Thank you for representing Cincinnati and providing this kind of advanced care to every patient who needs it
Day 2! We’ll be on TV screens across the world telling people about our dynamic, diverse, walkable city.
If you can live and work anywhere, you should choose Cincinnati. We are the future, and like this Bengals team, we are only getting started.
Tomorrow, I will take the Oath of Office and begin my service as Cincinnati’s Mayor.
I couldn’t be more proud and humbled to start this journey with you.
Join us for the swearing in or watch online at .
Today I pulled petitions to run for re-election. We’ve made a lot of progress since 2016. We expanded access to the courts and saved taxpayers $1.5 million.
But we have more work to do to bring real justice reform to our courthouse.
I’m all in for 2020. Hope you’ll join me.
Our
@Bengals
fans SHOWED UP for this team at the AFC Champions Rally!
Cincinnati is keeping up the energy. Our time is now, and no one can stop us from rising.
Who Dey!
John McCain was an American hero who put country over party. I join all Americans in offering thoughts and prayers to his family. May his legacy of service and selflessness live on in all of us.
Tragedy struck our beloved Cincinnati today with a senseless act of gun violence. Our hearts ache for the victims and their families. Our gratitude is with first responders who reacted so bravely. This kind of tragedy occurs far too often in our country. May it never occur again.
Good morning from the Board of Elections where the crowds are crazy.
People are so fired up to vote for
@JoeBiden
and all our
@OHDems
.
Come join us today and tomorrow or all next week. When we vote, we win.
#OhioForBiden
We’re fired up to cheer on
@fccincinnati
tonight! I’ll be watching at
@ThePitchCincy
, and I can’t wait to see incredible energy from crowds all around the city.
In honor of our match tonight, Bodhi and I have prepared a proclamation.
Let’s keep it going!
#AllForCincy
Thrilled to have the endorsement of
@SherrodBrown
, the best Senator in the country. Together, we will stand up to special interests and fight for working families.
Couldn’t be prouder to support
@SamforOhio
, a bright young leader ready to represent the values of Southwest Ohioans with integrity and courage. The next generation is here to step up and serve!
I'm absolutely elated to announce I've been officially endorsed by the Mayor of Cincinnati,
@AftabPureval
!
Mayor Pureval knows what Southwest Ohio needs - and how a fresh new perspective can bring back jobs, preserve our education, and replace corruption with common sense.
FIRST MLS PLAYOFFS EVER!
We’ve all seen how much
@fccincinnati
has fired up Cincy fans at our home games. Now it’s time to show the whole country what we’re made of.
Let’s rock.
#AllForCincy
Rob Portman is not different from Mitch McConnell, Lindsey Graham, or any other Republican Senator who puts power over principle.
This shouldn’t surprise us but it should motivate us to beat him in 2022.
It feels good to feel good about America, to have a president who leads with empathy and appeals to our better angels.
Just such an incredible day.
#BidenHarris2020
Thank you, Cincinnati! I can’t wait to serve you as your next Mayor.
The work starts now and I want to hear from you. Stay up to date on my transition here:
