Meet Your Republican Leadership Team
for Warren County Ohio

Christian Mays currently represents Precinct 147 to the Warren County Republican Central Committee, and Senate District 7 to the Republican State Central Committee.

​

As a firm believer in the biblical principle found in Proverbs 27:17 that Iron sharpens Iron, and with nearly 30 years of experience in leadership and management, Reverend Mays has built a life and a career of service to his fellow man.
