Elections board disqualifies Liberty schools candidate
WARREN
The Liberty Board of Education, which has three seats open in this November’s election, now has two write-in candidates on the ballot.
On Monday, the Trumbull County Board of Elections disqualified James W. Jones Jr. as a candidate because he had an insufficient number of signatures on nominating petitions he turned in earlier this month.
Jones isn’t allowed to file as a write-in because Ohio law prevents someone from attempting to run more than once for the same position.
The elections board also disqualified Diane L. Shiley from running for the Newton Falls Board of Education and Arnie Brom III from running for the Joseph Badger Board of Education, also for having insufficient signatures on their petitions.
