According to unofficial results for Montgomery County:

  • Issue 6 passed, with over 70% voting yes. The levy renewal for the City of Dayton will generate around $15 million each year for police, fire, road repair, parks, and more.
  • The Centerville School District levy has failed. The vote was 53% against the levy vs. nearly 47% in favor. Last year, the Centerville School District had a levy on the November ballot, which voters also rejected.
  • Montgomery County Commissioner Judy Dodge won her Democratic primary in her bid to keep her commission seat, after facing civil engineer Youssef Elzein. Dodge faces Republican Kate Baker, Huber Heights councilmember who won her primary against Jordan Wortham.

According to unofficial results for Greene County:

  • The Yellow Springs school district had its 9 mill levy fail, with 55% of voters against.
  • Another levy in Xenia was turned down by voters. The new Xenia 4 mill levy would have funded police and public safety. About 58% of voters were against.
  • Xenia Mayor Sarah Mays narrowly won the Republican nomination for Greene County Commissioner, with a 52-48% vote against Bob Stone.
  • The city of Fairborn passed new levies for roads (around 59% in favor) and another one for police, fire and EMS (close to 64% in favor).
  • Jamestown voters turned down a Greenview Local Schools construction levy, in a 66-33% vote.

According to unofficial results for Clark County:

  • Chris Clark has ousted Incumbent Sheriff Deborah Burchett in a bid for Clark County Sheriff. A former sheriff’s office major, Clark is also the Madison Twp. Fire and EMS chief and received close to 60% of the unofficial votes.
  • In the Clark County Commissioner primary, retired health commissioner Charlie Patterson won with just over 43% of the vote. That's in a four-way race with Dave Marshall, local teacher and former campaign worker; Matt Quesenberry, local project manager for a construction engineering company; William Lindsey, New Carlisle City Council member. All were hoping to fill the seat that will be vacated at the end of Commissioner Lowell McGlothin’s term. In November, Patterson faces Democrat and former Springfield city commissioner Kevin O’Neill.

  • In Elizabeth Township, an 8 mill levy was voted down with 78% of the voters saying no. Officials say it would have generated $626,000 annually for their fire and EMS department.
