The Record

News & Daily Check-Ins.

Every Daily Check-In, campaign update, and resident concern worth bringing forward — posted here so it isn't trapped inside Facebook.

Launch Day·Announcement

I'm running as a write-in for Licking County Commissioner.

My name is Brian Belcher. I'm a resident, a father, an electrical tradesman, and a general foreman on data center jobsites. In November 2026, I'm running as a WRITE-IN candidate for Licking County Commissioner.

I'm not a politician. I'm not backed by a party machine. I'm running because the decisions being made right now — Intel, data centers, housing, roads, water, taxes — are going to shape this county for generations, and too many of them are happening before residents even know they're on the table.

This page, and the Daily Check-Ins that will live here, are how I plan to listen. No spin. No press releases. Just neighbor-to-neighbor.

Red nor blue. I work for you.

Earlier check-ins

Daily Check-In·Roads & Safety

Our roads are a prime example of our failing foundation.

Roads are not just pavement. They're the foundation of how people get to work, school, church, the grocery store, and home safely.

A weak foundation is a reflection of weak planning, poor communication, and leadership that waits too long to respond.

I don't believe we fix this by yelling into the wind. We fix it by listening to residents, identifying the worst problems, coordinating between townships and the county, and demanding accountability when growth or construction traffic causes damage.

With the help of the community, we can rebuild the foundation.

Daily Check-In·Development

Should county leaders follow the majority of residents on major projects?

When projects are big enough to affect roads, taxes, utilities, schools, emergency services, and daily life, public input should come early — not after the major decisions are mostly made.

A few things I believe we should be talking about:

1. Early public review before large developments move too far forward 2. Community input when the stakes are high 3. Full financial transparency — no hidden deals, no vague promises 4. Clear explanation of who benefits, who pays, and who carries the long-term impact

Let's make sure your voice counts.
