Hamilton County Commissioner Greg Beck kicked off his re-election campaign Monday evening with a promise that he won’t flip-flop — which some of his supporters say is a trait of his primary opponent, the Rev. Bernie Miller.
“I don’t believe that you can be flim-flammed by a flip-flopper,” Mr. Beck told the crowd assembled at the Bessie Smith Cultural Center.
Mr. Beck did not call his opponent by name.
In the 2006 race for the commission’s District 5 seat, Dr. Miller ran as a Republican against Mr. Beck in 2006. Mr. Beck received about 70 percent of the vote to Dr. Miller’s 30 percent.
For this year’s race, Dr. Miller is running as a Democrat, but that didn’t pass muster with Mr. Beck’s supporters.
