Meet Curt Hartman
Born and raised in the Greater Cincinnati area, Curt Hartman attended and graduated 30th in a class of over 1,000 at the United States Naval Academy in Annapolis, Maryland. Completing all his undergraduate studies in 3½ years, Curt then attended graduate school, earning a master's degree in national security studies from Georgetown University in Washington, DC. Upon completion of his graduate studies, Curt received a master’s degree at Georgetown in the following months before proceeding to his ultimate active-duty military service as a nuclear-trained officer on board a nuclear-powered fast-attack submarine.
Following his military service, Curt attended and graduated from Vanderbilt Law School in Nashville, Tennessee. Immediately after law school, he clerked for Judge Rhesa Barksdale of the U.S. Court of Appeals for the Fifth Circuit. Curt then returned home to Cincinnati where he initially practice law with two major Cincinnati law firms.
Ultimately, Curt opened his own law practice in 2002, enabling him to serve and assist individuals and small business in their effort to experience and enjoy the American Dream. Eventually, his law practice expanded so as to focus on representing individuals challenging overbearing and unconstitutional governmental operations and actions. This aspect of his practice has included cases before the U.S. Supreme Court and over 80 cases before the Ohio Supreme Court.
In 2017, Curt continued his service to the public by accepting a commission to serve a judge on the Hamilton County Common Pleas Court. During his tenure on the bench, Curt demonstrated a commitment to the fair, impartial and just resolution of matters consistent with the rule of law. Curt quickly established himself as a fair jurist, committed to affording everybody their day in court. Now back in private practice, Curt has continued his efforts in fighting for individuals against governmental corruption and overreach.
With his broad experience, and proven commitment to ensuring all people are afforded the greatest opportunity to enjoy life, liberty and the pursuit of happiness (for them and their families), Curt is now seeking to continue his service to the public as state representative for the 27th State House District.
