THANK YOU for visiting my website ...

I have been a Symmes Township resident for 35 years and your Township Trustee for the past 20. I am running for re-election on November 4 th , 2025. I need your support and vote to continue to represent you in local matters. I am not a career politician but a retired engineer with a desire and commitment to be your public servant.

I strongly believe in the “Golden Rule – Treat others as you would like to be treated” and am greatly troubled by the lack of respect permeating our society today. If re-elected, I promise to continue to represent ALL RESIDENTS fairly, prioritize safety, plan for the long term, and spend your tax dollars conservatively.

My focus over the years has been on Safety and saving tax money wherever and whenever I can. We have reduced taxes when possible, increased alternative funding through grants, secured matching funds and business sponsorships, and implemented gas and electricity aggregation all while maintaining our quality police, fire, EMS, and township roads. We expanded and enriched our park services. We added sidewalks, crossing signals and traffic signal pre-emption devices for faster fire and EMS response. Last year we celebrated our Bi- Centennial year with several additional sponsored family centered activities.

I need your continued support and vote on November 4 th .

ABOUT KEN ...

Originally from Northern Kentucky, Ken Bryant has lived in the Calumet Farm subdivision in Symmes Township for over 35 years. He has been a Symmes Township Trustee for the past 20 years and has recently filed to run for re-election on November 4th, 2025.

Ken graduated from the University of Kentucky in 1967 with a Bachelor of Science degree in Mechanical Engineering and has completed an additional 2 years of post-graduate study in both personnel and project management. He is also a Graduate of the Ohio Township Association’s Leadership Academy.

Ken and his wife, Jean, have been married for 55 years and enjoy being active in many community activities and charitable events. They have two adult children–Angela and Gregory—and 3  grandchildren – Jordyn, Boston, and Dylan. Both children and granddaughter are all graduates of
Sycamore High School..

Ken has a wealth of business experience. Prior to his retirement from industry, he had a long and successful career both as a Manager and a Senior Staff Engineer with GE Aircraft Engines in both Evendale, Ohio and Lynn, Massachusetts. His 35 years of Engineering and Management experience included both Personnel and Program Leadership in both Product Design and Engine Systems Integration. During his industrial career, Ken successfully managed several multi-million dollar contracts and technical programs.

Ken states, “He absolutely loves the Ohio Township form of government.  He feels it is an example of true “grassroots” governance.  Trustees must meet and discuss township business in open session and the three Trustees must decide any issue by majority vote.  These Trustees are your neighbors and are accessible on the street, in the grocery, or by telephone. Township taxes cannot be raised by the Trustees without a levy being placed on the ballot and the Township Residents agreeing by majority vote. The State Legislature sets compensation rates for the elected officials and no one can vote a raise for themselves.  The legislature clearly defines what a Township Trustee can and can’t do through the Ohio Revised Codes.”

Ken is an active member of the Montgomery Community Church and loves golf, volleyball, DIY projects and family travel. He can be reached via the Contact Form or email at kennethbryant@fuse.net
