STRUTHERS
Councilman Michael Patrick, D-at large, and secretary to the law director Catherine Cercone Miller are in the race to determine who will be the Democratic Party candidate for Struthers mayor this November.
Cercone Miller said she wants the position to better promote change in the city.
She has worked in the city prosecutor’s office for nearly five years as the secretary to the law director and has more than five years of experience as a grant writer. Cercone Miller has also volunteered with and served on the boards of organizations including the Struthers Rotary Corps, the Hope Foundation, The Taste of Struthers and The Struthers School Foundation. She also coached girls basketball in the city school district.
Patrick has served on city council for 12 years and spent 27 years as a firefighter with the Struthers Fire Department. During his time on council, Patrick has served on the finance and legislation, police and fire and zoning and annexation and public utility committees.
He said he would give 40 hours a week to the job and he would send his appointees to training so they are properly qualified to serve in their positions.
