Ed Rothenberg

Ed Rothenberg, is a Hyde Park real estate investor who ran in the November 2008 Elections against Todd Portune for his seat on the Hamilton County Board of Commissioners Rothenberg lost that race.

Rothenberg was not officially backed by the local Republican Party due to a "backroom deal" that was arranged by Tim Burke and George Vincent. The deal was setup to allow Democrat Todd Portune to run unopposed in exchange for Greg Hartmann also running unopposed in the race for Pat DeWine's vacated seat on the same Board.

Rothenberg was also part of the “We Demand a Vote” coalition that overturned the jail tax.
