Cory Bowman, JD Vance’s half-brother, lost in a landslide for Cincinnati mayor to Democrat Aftab Pureval during the election bloodbath. Pureval curb-stomped Bowman on election day, winning reelection with more than 78% of the vote, while Bowman received 22%. Vance publicly endorsed his half-brother, but that didn’t work out very well. Bowman still has his job as a pastor at River Church Cincinnati and co-owner of Kings Arms Coffee to fall back on after losing the election in a landslide.
Hey Cincinnati! My brother Cory Bowman is running for mayor and is on the ballot today for the primary. He’s a good guy with a heart for serving his community. Get out there and vote for him!

Voting records show Vance, who is registered to vote in Cincinnati, did not cast a ballot in the primary. While he voted in the 2025 general election, records indicate he voted absentee, despite President Donald Trump’s attempts to end mail-in voting.
