Hamilton County voters elected Brigid Kelly as Auditor and Pavan Parikh as Clerk of Courts, retaining those seats for Democrats.
County Clerk of Courts
Parikh beat Republican challenger Steve Goodin with 53% of the vote, with 100% of precincts reporting.
Parikh took office in January, filling the vacancy left by now-Cincinnati Mayor Aftab Pureval.
During his time in office so far, Parikh has changed procedures to make it easier to file civil protection orders and removed some old eviction records from the public website in an effort to help tenants seeking housing.
"Let us take this resounding victory today as a validation of our vision for a justice system committed to improving transparency, increasing accessibility, and fostering innovation," Parikh said in a statement.
