Democrat Aftab Pureval won re-election as mayor of Cincinnati on Tuesday, defeating Cory Bowman, a Republican who is Vice President J.D. Vance’s half-brother.
According to Associated Press, although the position is officially nonpartisan, Pureval is aligned with the Democratic Party.
Pureval had shown a strong public backing earlier this year by securing more than 80 percent of the vote in the all-party municipal primary held in May. He was a special assistant U.S. attorney and first claimed the mayor’s office in 2021 after winning nearly 66% of the vote.
Pureval comes from a mix of Punjabi and Tibetan backgrounds. Pureval was born to a Punjabi father from India and a Tibetan refugee mother. This implies influences from religious traditions such as Sikhism or Hinduism on his Indian side and Tibetan Buddhism on his mother’s side.
However, his practised religion is not publicly specified.
