I'm Brian Garner Im a small town politician in the middle of an election controversy. Ask me about local politics, my election issues, or AMA

Hi, I’m Brian Garner, a small-town politician and former City Commissioner in Union, Kentucky (20 minutes south of Cincinnati, OH). I recently ran for re-election and won, but our election had ballot issues that led to a judge voiding the results. As a result, our Mayor appointed the last-place finisher and someone who didn’t even run. Now, I’m fighting back. This situation isn’t just about me—it’s about election integrity and making sure the will of the voters is respected. Politically, I was a lifelong Conservative Republican and even voted for Trump in 2016. However, I left the Republican Party in 2017, became an Independent, and after the 2024 election, I officially registered as a Democrat. My journey through different political affiliations has given me a unique perspective on the system and the challenges within both parties. I’ve been active in my community for years, serving Union as a City Commissioner and working to make local government more transparent and accountable. Beyond politics, I’m a husband, a father of four, an insurance agent, and a proud Northern Kentuckian. Ask me anything about local politics, my case, or small-town government drama—I’m happy to share my experience. **Links to both parties condemning the Mayor:** [Boone County Republican Party Statement](https://bcrpky.net/bcrp-statement-on-recent-appointments-made-by-union-city-mayor-solomon/) [Boone County Democratic Party Statement](https://www.facebook.com/share/165L33m5eX/) **Media and News:** [K-Wal Cast episode discussing the election](https://podcasts.apple.com/us/podcast/k-wal-cast/id1759225592?i=1000691192410) [Link NKY Local news story](https://linknky.com/news/2025/02/04/prior-commissioners-snubbed-in-union-commissioner-appointments/) **Social Media Accounts:** [Bluesky](https://bsky.app/profile/briangarnernky.bsky.social) [Facebook](https://www.facebook.com/BrianGarnerKY) [Proof](https://i.imgur.com/67kE6ao.png)
