Mahoning GOP, Dems to elect officers June 7

YOUNGSTOWN

The precinct committee members of the Mahoning County Democratic and Republican parties will meet — separately, of course — June 7 to vote on their party officials, including chairmen.

Democratic Chairman David Betras and Republican Chairman Mark Munroe are seeking re-election.

Rick Berger, a former precinct committee member, is planning to challenge Betras.

Other positions to be determined by Democratic precinct committee members at the meeting are executive vice chairman, secretary, treasurer, vice chairman of labor relations and vice chairman of minority affairs.

Jaladah Aslam and Sylvester D. Patton are the incumbents in the latter two positions, respectively, and will not be seeking re-election.

That meeting at St. Luke Parish, 5235 South Ave. in Boardman, starts with a breakfast at 10 a.m. followed by speeches and votes starting about 11 a.m. June 7.

The Republicans will meet at 9 a.m. June 7 at party headquarters, 621 Boardman-Canfield Road, to elect a chairman, a vice chairman and chairwoman. Vice Chairman Ed Crepage isn’t seeking re-election, Munroe said.
