Interest is running high among local Democrats hoping to fill a vacant seat on the Franklin County Board of Commissioners.
Columbus City Council President Pro Tempore Elizabeth Brown, state Rep. Erica Crawley, Franklin County Clerk of Courts Maryellen O’Shaughnessy, Worthington School Board member Sam Shim and Gahanna-Jefferson School Board President Beryl Piccolantonio have announced their intentions to seek the appointment, with many others considering the race.
“I know (they) all won’t run, but I think the list was in the double digits last week,” said Michael Sexton, chairman of the Franklin County Democratic Party’s Executive Committee.
