Landry Simmons, the lone Republican to submit petitions to run for Cleveland mayor this year, withdrew from the race after failing to collect the required 3,000 valid signatures, Cuyahoga County Board of Elections officials said in a Monday meeting.
Cleveland’s charter allowed Simmons another five days to gather more signatures after the June 16 filing deadline. But even after that, he fell 107 names short, board director Anthony Perlatti said.
Simmons said, in an email to Ideastream Public Media after the meeting, he plans to instead pursue a state Senate bid. His district on Cleveland’s West Side, currently represented by Democratic Sen. Nickie Antonio, will be on the ballot in 2022.
