Politicians dropping out of race to replace Boccieri
Tweet
Robyn Gallitto
Lisa Antonini, democrat, Mahoning County Treasurer and former Chairwoman of the Mahoning County Democratic Party
State Sen. John Boccieri of Alliance, D-33rd
YOUNGSTOWN — When it comes to selecting John Boccieri’s replacement in the Ohio Senate, it could end up being last candidate standing.
Mahoning County Commissioner John A. McNally IV of Youngstown, considered a front-runner for the seat, is no longer interested in the appointment.
Anthony Traficanti of Poland, also a county commissioner and strong contender for the post, hasn’t made a final decision on the seat, but said today that he’s probably stay put.
Also, Youngstown 4th Ward Councilwoman Carol Rimedio-Righetti said she doesn’t want the job.
That leaves Boardman Trustee Robyn Gallitto, Poland Trustee Robert Lidle and Alliance Councilman-at-Large Steve Okey as the only candidates interested in the appointment at this time.
“It’s a tough thing to consider,” said Lisa Antonini, Mahoning County Democratic chairwoman. “It’s a lot of time away from home. Also, being outnumbered in the Senate 21-12, what can you get accomplished?”
