Voters pick candidates for general election in Ohio

CINCINNATI (AP) - The incumbent mayor of Cincinnati will face off against a city councilwoman in the November mayoral election.

Councilwoman Yvette Simpson was the top vote-getter in Tuesday’s primary with 45 percent of the vote, followed by fellow Democrat and incumbent John Cranley with 34 percent. Former University of Cincinnati board chairman Rob Richardson was eliminated after securing only 20 percent of the vote. There were no Republicans in the nonpartisan race.

Also Tuesday, Jamael Tito Brown won the Democratic primary for mayor of Youngstown, beating incumbent John McNally. McNally had narrowly defeated Brown in the 2013 primary.

Some voters had tax levies and other local measures to consider Tuesday.

Cleveland and Toledo have mayoral primaries in September.
