Tracey Winbush has been nominated by the Mahoning County Republican Party to remain on the county

Tracey Winbush has been nominated by the Mahoning County Republican Party to remain on the county board of elections to serve a three-year term. County Democrats recently nominated David Betras, its party chairman, to also remain on the board serving a three-year term. The final decision on the reappointments rests with Secretary of State Jon Husted.

County Republican Party Chairman Mark Munroe said he’s going to New Hampshire from Feb. 4 to 10 to help Ohio Gov. John Kasich’s campaign in the first-in-the-nation presidential primary. The primary there is Feb. 9. Munroe, an alternate presidential convention delegate for Kasich, said he was recently contacted by the governor’s campaign seeking his help in New Hampshire.

As for what he’ll be doing for the Kasich campaign, Munroe said, “I have no idea. The Kasich campaign is looking for volunteers and can plug me in where they need. I can specifically help with organizing town halls and GOTV [get out the vote] activities.”
