Hamilton County Register of Deeds Marc Gravitt will run for a second term in the May primary election, he announced Monday.
The East Ridge Republican was first elected in 2018 and is so far the only candidate to file campaign paperwork for the seat and return his qualifying petitions to the Hamilton County Election Commission, according to its website.
“I was already in real estate, so I think in my political career it’s rewarding I get to continue in the same type of business as I was in earlier,” Gravitt said in a Monday phone interview. “Even though we do record 98 different types of documents, the significant portion of that is dealing with real estate.”

The Republican said his priority if re-elected would be to finish scanning and indexing the county’s oldest records – which date back to 1796 – so they are available online.
