David Uible

David H. Uible, (born December 14, 1960) is a rancher, investor, and former Republican Party Chairman and County Commissioner in Clermont County, Ohio.

Uible was born and raised in Cincinnati, Ohio, the youngest of nine children of Richard and Verna Uible. After graduating from Sycamore High School he went on to Purdue University in West Lafayette, Indiana where he graduated in 1983 with a B.S. in Mechanical Engineering. Uible also did graduate work at Xavier University and graduated from the Executive Management Program at the University of Cincinnati.

Uible's first position in the international division of a computer software company led to starting his first company, Rosegate Technology Group, in 1989 to sell reconditioned computer equipment to Swiss banks. In 1993, Uible privatized the medical publishing division of the Russian Ministry of Health (former USSR). This initiative opened advertising opportunities for western pharmaceuticals, and sales grew from $0 to $6 million before the company was re-nationalized by the Russian government in May 1996.

In 1995, Uible co-founded the Cincinnati Chapter of Young Entrepreneurs Organization (now known as Entrepreneurs' Organization). He also served as the Chapter’s President.

In 1999, Uible started Uible Management Group to acquire more distressed companies after successfully turning-around the Russian medical publishing business and Structured Network Solutions in 1997. He has bought and turned around several more businesses, playing an active role in each. He considers his strengths to be identifying opportunities, financial structuring, marketing, and leadership.

Uible has been a member of the Clermont County Planning Commission, the Northern Kentucky University School of Entrepreneurship, the Southern Ohio Agricultural Community Development Fund, the University Club of Cincinnati, and the Cincinnati Youth Collaborative.

Uible has been a Director of the New Richmond National Bank, Treasurer of the Clermont County Republican Central and Executive Committees, and Advisory Judge of Purdue University Center of Entrepreneurship.

Since 2012 Uible has served as one of three Board Member on the Investment Advisory Committee for Clermont County, which manages about $100,000,000 in municipal and corporate bonds and U.S. Treasury investments.

From May 2014 thru May 2018 Uible was elected and served as Party Chairman of the Clermont County Republican Party.

Uible has served on multiple other county boards including: Convention and Visitors Bureau, County Investment Corporation (CIC), Opiate Task Force, and the County Planning Commission.

In October 2019, Uibel plead guilty for illegal submitting voter signatures for his reelection campaign. [1]

After a county commissioner seat was vacated in March 2012, Uible was appointed to the Board of Clermont County Commissioners with 67% of the Clermont County Republican Central Committee vote on March 14, 2012 from a field of ten candidates seeking the appointment. Uible went on to win the general election in November 2012 defeating his Democratic opponent, Len Harding, 67.54% to 32.46. With endorsements from Senator Portman, Governor Kasich, and Representative Wenstrup, Uible was reelected for a second term in November 2014 after winning 74.34% of the vote over his Democratic opponent Richard Perry.

Uible brought a business and an entrepreneurial approach to managing Clermont County. Several years before Uible was elected Clermont County ran a budget deficit and had millions of dollars in outstanding general obligation debt. Within a year after Uible was appointed commissioner Clermont County began running a budget surplus and paid off all of the general obligation debt a few years later. Uible was a champion for economic development and job growth and helped formed the Port Authority and purchased 242 acres for a new shovel-ready industrial park. Among the companies that chose to build and invest in Clermont County during his term was FC Cincinnati, which decided to build their $30 million practice facility. Uible also pushed Clermont County to be the first county in Ohio to start a Community Alternative Sentencing Center (CASC), which assists in opiate addiction treatment for misdemeanor offenders, who would otherwise have been sentenced to jail.

In 2017, Uible lobbied to have the professional soccer team FC Cincinnati build their $30M practice complex in Clermont County.The effort was orchestrated by Uible through the Clermont County Convention and Visitor's Bureau (CVB).In August 2018 the Clermont County Board of County Commissioners approved a 1% lodging tax designed to bring the new soccer facility to Clermont County. In September 2018 FC Cincinnati began building their new complex in Milford, Ohio. Officials said they expect to get $2 back for every $1 they spend. [2] [3] [4] [5]

Uible pleas guilty to a misdemeanor for tampering with records. The special prosecuting attorney, Joel King, said that the harm in the case was self-harm and was a mistake for which Judge Ferenc agreed.
