Ahead of election, Athens Democrats appoint Ben Ziff to fill City Council vacancy


The Athens city Democratic Central Committee voted unanimously Wednesday to appoint Donkey Coffee manager Ben Ziff to serve at-large on City Council to fill the vacancy left by Pete Kotses, who resigned in recent weeks.
Ziff, who’s never held public office and was the only candidate running in the primary for Kotses’ seat, is expected to occupy office in the coming weeks once paperwork is finalized with the state. He was the sole candidate the committee considered for the job and was viewed by city and party leaders as a favorite in the weeks leading to Wednesday s meeting.
“I’m feeling good. I’m honestly rather overwhelmed, sorry,” Ziff said with laughter in an interview following the meeting. “Not that I wasn’t excited or looking forward to it, but it’s hit me in a much more emotional way than I was expecting.” ....

Athens City Councilmember Pete Kotses to resign, ending his final term prematurely


Athens NEWS Associate Editor
Athens City Councilmember Pete Kotses said Monday that he’s resigning at the end of the week, bringing his three-term career as a member of the body to an early close after announcing in January he wouldn’t seek another term.
Kotses, an at-large Democrat, said in an interview that he decided to leave once it became clear that the primary to replace him was uncontested with Ben Ziff, a Donkey Coffee manager, pursuing the Democratic nomination. It’s still possible that Independent candidates could surface in the general election.
Kotses said his life shifted radically in 2020 after closing his bicycle shop, which monopolized much of his time over the years, contributing to his decision to step down from Council. ....

Athens NEWS Associate Editor
The longtime deputy director of The Athens County Board of Elections died Friday at Ohio Health O’Bleness Hospital.
Penny Lynn Brooks, 68, served on the Board of Elections since 1973. The exact cause of her death is unknown, but John Haseley, the Democratic member of the Board of Elections and chair of the Athens County Democratic Party, said she had recently been diagnosed with cancer. He wasn’t able to provide further details about her illness.
“Her extended Democratic family is heartbroken,” Haseley said.
Brooks, a Democrat, was previously awarded by the Ohio Senate with having the most years of public service with the Board of Elections, according to her obituary in The Athens Messenger. She was also in the past granted the “lifetime achievement” award from the Athens County Democratic Party, the Athens County Democratic volunteer of the year, and the Ohio election official volunteer of the year. ....
