Hamilton Municipal Chairman John Bencivengo to Step Down

Release Date: Jan 31 2007

"I have decided to step down as Chairman of the Hamilton Republican Committee in order to devote 100% of my time pursuing my party’s endorsement of my candidacy for the office of Mayor," said John Bencivengo.

In the interim, Vice Chairwoman, Tracy Higgins, will assume responsibility as Chairperson until a new chair is elected at our party’s convention in June.

It has been an honor to lead the Hamilton Republican Committee’s resurgence and I am especially proud of the results of the last two elections in which four members of our party have been elected to the Council. They continue to put forth a consistent and concerted effort to give honest and efficient government back to the citizens of our great community.
will work to continue that trend as our party’s candidate for mayor and pledge to bring the same dedication and work ethic to this campaign as I did as Chairman. I look forward to working with the Council, the Committee and all the citizens of Hamilton as we move forward to a new era of good government.
