JD Vance's half brother to challenge Cincinnati's Democratic mayor [View all]

Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Pureval faces two challengers Tuesday in the city's nonpartisan primary, including Vice President JD Vance's half brother.
[snip]
Cory Bowman, Vance's half brother, is an evangelical pastor and coffee shop owner. Neither he nor fellow Republican challenger Brian Frank, a procurement professional, have held public office before but said they didn't want to see the incumbent Democrat's reelection bid go unchallenged in the heavily Democratic city.
Were Bowman to pull an upset, he would be the latest family member of a president or vice president to serve in office. That includes the brother of Mike Pence, President Donald Trump’s first vice president, who was elected to Congress during Trump's previous administration.
Bowman, 36, has said that he wants to improve his city, not get involved in national politics. He says his half brother’s inauguration in January inspired him to get involved in politics, but that Vance is just his brother, not his political counselor.
