AUSTINTOWN -- Township Trustee David C. Ditzler of New Road filed nominating petitions today with the Mahoning County Board of Elections seeking re-election to a four-year term. Lisa Oles of Harvest Ridge Road, a real estate agent and marketing coordinator for LPL Financial Services in Canfield, has filed nominating petitions for the unexpired three-year term on the board of trustees. That seat is held by Warren "Bo" Pritchard of South Meridian Road, who plans to run for a four-year position on the board.
Jeffrey Groat of Westchester Drive, who is finishing a four-year term on the board, is not seeking re-election and plans to run next year for county commissioner.
Thursday is the deadline to file. There are two four-year trustee positions and one three-year position open during the Nov. 6 election.
