Pulled petitions and speculation in upcoming races

By Josh Sweigart | Monday, September 21, 2009, 03:00 PM

Update: Good catch, Don. It is indeed Michael Gmoser.

Here’s what we know and what we’re hearing about upcoming local races:

County commission

Lester “Butch” Hubble has become the first Democrat to pull petitions for Butler County commission. Hubble ran for commission last year against Commissioner Charles Furmon, running a low-key campaign and lost in a 60-40 landslide.

Incumbent Republican Commissioner Gregory Jolivette is seen by many inside and outside his party as a wounded lame duck, with a nepotism allegation hanging above his head. And we know that the county clerk of courts, treasurer, former West Chester Twp. trustee and two other party members aim to unseat him.

Rumor is former Middletown city councilman and candidate for state rep Paul Nenni, a Republican, is also weighing a run. We’ll see.

Prosecutor

Now that we know Prosecutor Robin Piper has his eyes on a judgeship, who would go after his seat if he won (though that race wouldn’t come until a year later)?

There are few offices more politically charged than a county prosecutors office, full of assistant county prosecutors who dream of being judges (often county prosecutors first). Piper referenced that in his release:

“There are some very experienced people serving the people of Butler County in the Prosecutor’s Office currently, but ultimately, it will be the citizens who decide. The office doesn’t belong to me, or anyone else, it’s only held in trust for the people of Butler County.”

Outside the prosecutors office, Hamilton attorney Michael Gmoser has made it clear he would like the job. The prominent Republican ruffled some feathers in both parties, though, when he sent out a request for support on law firm letterhead, which bears the name of John Holcomb, his law partner.

Holcomb, whose father was a very popular county prosecutor, is a leader of the local Democratic Party. And, it’s worth noting, there are those nudging him to run for the seat (or county commission).

Domestic relations court

I’m hearing that incumbent Domestic Relations Judge Eva Kesslar may have to fend off a same-party challenge from Barbara Schneider Carter, a Hamilton attorney and assistant magistrate in domestic relations court. Any thoughts on any of these races?

Yes, Josh, it would help to get the names right. The candidate for prosecutor is Michael Gmoser(pronounced Moser) who is a long time, and well respected crimminal defense attorney who just happens to share a law practice with John Holcomb. Ironically, Mike has been a life long Republican.

Kudos to Robin Piper for getting a swift and very decisive conviction on Dr. Mark Blankenburg
