By Peter J. "Pete" Kambelos, M.D.

I believe in transparency, truth, fiscal restraint, and practicality.

I am originally from Maysville, Kentucky.

I consider Cincinnati my second hometown as my parents, John and Erato Kambelos, faithfully drove us to Church for services at Holy Trinity-St. Nicholas Greek Orthodox Church in Finneytown nearly every Sunday growing-up, despite snow, sleet, and other inclement circumstances. I currently serve as a Parish Council Vice-president there.

I am a resident of the Clifton community in the City of Cincinnati.

I graduated valedictorian of Maysville High School and then with a Bachelor's Degree from the University of Kentucky and followed that with a medical degree from the University of Louisville.

I trained in Internal Medicine at the University of Cincinnati, where I continue to serve as a Volunteer Assistant Professor of Clinical Medicine and have been in private solo practice as an Internist for several years in western Hamilton County (North Bend Road in Green Twp.).

I also serve, with great pride, on the Board of Trustees of the Cincinnati Society for the Prevention of Cruelty to Animals. In addition, I serve as Councilor at the Academy of Medicine of Cincinnati, our local medical society.

With my background and experience in medicine and business, I vow to return honor and integrity to this Office, which has been plagued by various scandals in recent years.
