Trumbull County communities
Michael J. Hovis for Cortland.
About 7,000 residents (2020 Census), Michael's backyard.
Cortland is home turf. Michael graduated from Lakeview High School, and the community knows him from decades of showing up, at the Cortland Farmers Market on Saturdays, at the Lions Club Street Fair, and every July at the Trumbull County Fair, the county's biggest annual gathering, held right here at the fairgrounds (July 14–19 in 2026, its 180th year).
The people who know Michael best have already voted for him, twice, next door in Bazetta. Cortland is where the campaign starts, not where it ends: from here, the goal is every corner of the county.
