Election Day 2021 updates: Cranley votes for successor. Why he won't say who got his vote
Updated today at 8:30 a.m.: Current Cincinnati Mayor John Cranley is at Knox Presbyterian Church in Hyde Park, casting his vote for his successor.
Cranley declined to say who he voted for. The two-term mayor running for governor of Ohio said he wants to be in a position to “bend over backwards” to help whoever the winner is. He called both candidates “good people."
Former mayor Mark Mallory has endorsed Hamilton County Clerk of Courts Aftab Pureval in the race, and former mayor Charlie Luken is backing Councilman David Mann, who also is a former mayor.
