O’Brien in No. 3 post

COLUMBUS

State Sen. Sean J. O’Brien of Bazetta, D-32nd, was elected minority whip, the No. 3 leadership position among Democrats in the Ohio Senate.

“There are a lot of things I want to accomplish in the next General Assembly to help the people of my district and the rest of Ohio,” he said. “Too many small communities in Ohio have been forgotten, and I look forward to giving them a voice within my caucus and within the Ohio Senate.”

The Senate Democratic Caucus re-elected state Sen. Kenny Yuko of Richmond Heights, D-25th, as minority leader.
