Courtis FullerCourtis Fuller is a news broadcaster in Cincinnati, Ohio, who is active in politics and in local community affairs. Fuller is an on-air personality at WLWT-TV. He was named "Cincinnati's Favorite TV Personality" by the Broadcast Hall of Fame. In 2001, Fuller, a lifelong Democrat, ran as a Charterite candidate for the office of mayor of Cincinnati. The incumbent mayor was Charlie Luken, a former colleague of Fuller's in the WLWT newsroom. In the non-partisan primary election, Fuller managed a surprise first-place finish. However, in the general election, he was bested by the incumbent Luken. Impressed with Fuller's strong showing, Cincinnati-area Democratic officials expressed a hope that Fuller might take up the Democratic banner to challenge U.S. Rep. Steve Chabot. However, Fuller never replied to such inquiries. After his failed mayoral bid, Fuller became the host of a radio talk show. Fuller returned to WLWT in 2003. He is a member of several community boards and commissions, including the Greater Cincinnati Tall Stacks Commission and the Cincinnati Symphony Orchestra Board of Trustees. Fuller is one of several WLWT news personnel who have become involved in politics. Others include Mayor Luken, Jerry Springer, and Tom Atkins. See also:
