Bob Thompson for Pike County Commissioner

06/14/2026

Hello Pike County Voters!

As we begin to ramp up the campaign for the Commissioners seat, I wanted to start where it should always begin - YOU.

I have had so many great conversations as I have begun to travel throughout the county. The vibe for change is off the charts! People are understandably upset with the direction our county is going- or more accurately- the lack of direction.

We are about to experience once in a lifetime growth in southern Ohio. I want to help steer the ship to give us all a chance to benefit- not just a few.

Please share your thoughts and ideas for where we need to focus our energy, our efforts and resources. You may respond as a comment here or on instant message. Also you may send an email to bthompson1412@gmail,com.

Thank you for your time.

Change Course, Demand Better and Expect the Best!

THANK YOU! THANK YOU!

My Fellow Pike Countians,

I have been completely overwhelmed by the level of support you showed in yesterday’s election! I am quite humbled.

It has been such a pleasure to have the opportunity to speak to so many people already. I have been taking note of your concerns and ideas to make our county better. Pike Countians are the best!

Our campaign will now begin to really ramp up. We have so many ideas to share and we will always be willing to sit down and listen to you and exchange ideas. I promise to be your voice in the Pike County Government Center-something I believe has been missing for far too long.

To say the stakes with this election are as high as we have ever seen would be an understatement. The investments coming to Pike County are the largest ever in our state’s history. WE MUST be ready. If we do not change the course we have been on, we will get run over and miss this once in a lifetime chance to improve our entire region.

And to my opponent, congratulations on your primary win. I look forward to the opportunities we will have to discuss our approaches to managing the county, laying out our competing visions for the future and truly informing our fellow Pike Countians of what our stances are on issues that matter to them. I know our entire county will benefit by becoming informed of our plans for the future.

Change Course, Expect Better and Demand the Best!

Lots of people are asking for my yard signs. They will be available at the new Democratic headquarters, 118 E. 2nd St., Waverly after the primary.

The video below does a great job of explaining the multiple projects that are coming to Pike and Scioto Counties. These projects will impact our county infrastructures, housing, etc. as the video explains.
I have the experience to help plan for the kind of growth we are going to see. This is the kind of transparency you can expect from me if elected as your county commissioner.
