“It’s a very sad situation. I just hope people remember him for all the good things he did for us.”
Susan Lingenfelter, Hubbard
“I was shocked and saddened to hear that he was in an accident. He was the one politician always for the people and while his style of politics wasn’t embraced by everyone, my husband and I appreciated his caring ways for the Mahoning Valley.”
Nora Ickert, Boardman
“He did for the Mahoning Valley everything that he possibly could. He was a person for the people and someone very passionate about his Mahoning Valley roots. In my eyes, it was tragic how he was ousted from public office. I really appreciated his style.”
Gil Starr, Girard
“I thought Jim Traficant was an excellent politician. He was behind many projects... everything from the new court house to the 7-11 Connector and other projects in between. The passion he had for the Mahoning Valley and his constituents was second to none.”
