GANO
SALEM TruCut president and chief operating officer Jake Gano can add Salem city councilman to his resume after being selected to fill the unexpired term vacated by Roy Paparodis.
“I’m thrilled. I’m really excited to work with the council members, the mayor and all the other city officials. I’m excited to represent the city of Salem,” the 33-year-old born and bred city resident said.
Gano was among three candidates who stepped forward. The others were Sara Baer, who serves on the Downtown Salem Partnership and Burchfield Homestead Society, and former journalist Jeff Schoch, senior pastor at Abundant Life Fellowship and known for the city’s annual Thanksgiving dinner.
