Want to be a state rep?

The Butler County Republican Party is asking anyone seeking to fill the soon-to-be-vacant seat for Ohio’s 55th House District submit their intentions, along with a $125 screening fee, by 4 p.m. Thursday.

The screening committee meeting is to be determined, but screening committee chair Don Spurlock said it will be in June.

The 55th House District represents most of eastern Butler County, including West Chester and Liberty townships, and Middletown.

So far four people have expressed some level of interest in the 55th House District seat: Candice Keller, executive director of the Middletown Community Pregnancy Center; Margy Conditt, a former Liberty Twp. trustee; Liberty Twp. Trustee Christine Matacic; and West Chester Twp. resident Bruce Jones, a former Butler County Educational Service Center board member.

The Ohio Senate Republican Caucus is expected to accept the caucus’ screening committee recommendation to appoint Rep. Bill Coley today, Tuesday, May 24, to fill former Sen. Gary Cates’ seat. Cates resigned Monday to take the senior vice chancellor’s position with the Ohio Board of Regents.

For information, contact Spurlock at (513) 777-4550 or the party office at 893-5292.
