Mahoning GOP seeking D’Apolito's replacement

BOARDMAN — With the election of Mahoning County Court Judge David D’Apolito to the 7th District Court of Appeals, his current position will become vacant Feb. 8.

But at the urging of the office of outgoing Gov. John Kasich, Mahoning County Republicans are starting the search for Judge D’Apolito’s replacement now.

The party today asked those interested in the appointment to succeed Judge D’Apolito to request a copy of an application packet by calling its office at 330-629-7006 or contact it by email at mahoningcountygop@gmail.com. The deadline to apply for the position is Dec. 7.

A screening committee will interview candidates in either December or January and make a recommendation to Gov.-elect Mike DeWine, who takes office Jan. 14.
