Dems seek to replace Yemma
STRUTHERS — With the resignation of Dan Yemma as a city council-at-large member, the Mahoning County Democratic Party is looking for candidates to fill his unexpired term.
But the person selection to replace Yemma may not keep that job for long.
Yemma resigned Monday from council to serve as interim county treasurer. State law prohibits him from holding both positions.
County commissioners appointed Yemma, who was chief deputy treasurer, as interim treasurer Monday.
Yemma is among three candidates seeking the Democratic precinct committee members’ vote at a June 6 meeting to become county treasurer.
At that same meeting, at the Maronite Center in Youngstown, the 15 Democratic precinct members from Struthers will choose Yemma’s replacement on council.
