Vice President JD Vance's half-brother, Cory Bowman, is running for mayor in Cincinnati. He's also the pastor of The River Church Cincinnati. On Saturday, as staff and volunteers were preparing for weekend services, someone discovered a bullet hole in the building.

According to a statement that Bowman posted on X:

On Saturday, October 18th, 2025, during our preparation for service of our church at 503 Clark Street, we discovered a bullet hole that had penetrated an exterior window on the Clark Street side of the building.

An official report has been filed with the Cincinnati Police Department, who have been very helpful. As the building was unoccupied during the incident, it has been classified as property damage.

It is worth noting that, over the past week, there have been several negative social media posts, specifically regarding my family's personal residence and the church's address. Posts that are made due to the nature of our current mayoral campaign.

Throughout this campaign, we have encountered negativity, unfortunately including threatening messages directed at our church, business, and family. Despite these challenges, we have adapted and made decisions to continually prioritize the safety and security of my family and those around us.

The church held its Sunday service as normal, albeit with additional security. Bowman wasn't present because he was speaking at another church.

"Bowman, a Republican, is challenging incumbent Democratic Mayor Aftab Pureval in the Nov. 4 election, Ohio.news reports. "The Queen City's mayoral race is technically nonpartisan, and Bowman and Pureval received the most votes in the May 6 primary, setting the stage for the November showdown at the ballot box."

"Crime has been a focus of this year's mayoral race, particularly following a July 26 brawl in downtown Cincinnati, which went viral as bystanders opted to record it rather than call police," the report continues... Subscribe for free to Breaking Christian News here
