Independents file petitions
YOUNGSTOWN
Without independent candidates filing for seats such as mayors of Warren and Girard, the winners of today’s primary races for those positions won’t face opposition in the November general election.
In Youngstown, only candidates for council’s 1st and 5th Wards and for clerk of courts filed by Monday’s independent filing deadline.
That means the incumbents in council’s 2nd, 3rd, 6th and 7th Wards will run unopposed in today’s primary and the November general election.
Also, the winner of the Democratic primary for Youngstown council’s 4th Ward will run unopposed in November.
Struthers Mayor Terry P. Stocker is unopposed in today’s Democratic primary. But Phil DeMarco Jr. of Clingan Road, the only independent candidate in Struthers, filed to run for mayor in the November general election.
In Warren, independent candidates in council’s 1st and 6th Wards turned in nominating petitions for the November general election.
There is no one waiting to challenge the winners of the Warren mayoral race between Doug Franklin and Jim Graham or council president between incumbent Robert A. Marchese and Councilman Bob Dean.
Independent candidates filed to run for two council seats in Niles, one in Girard, one in Hubbard and one in McDonald.
In Lordstown, four independent candidates, including incumbent Robert Bond, filed to run for two village council seats.
There are already two Democratic candidates running in the November general election: incumbent Mary Jane Wilson and Mayor Michael A. Chaffee.
