Batchelder announces screening panel to replace former Rep. Coley

By Michael Pitman | Thursday, May 26, 2011, 12:37 PM

From the Ohio House Republican blog:

Ohio House Speaker William G. Batchelder, R-Medina, and members of the House Republican Caucus today announced that a screening panel will soon begin screening candidates who wish to replace former Representative Bill Coley, R-Liberty Twp. Coley was appointed by the Ohio Senate to represent Senate District 4 following the departure of Senator Gary Cates for the Ohio Board of Regents.

Speaker Pro Tempore Lou Blessing, R-Cincinnati, who will chair the screening panel, will be joined by Reps. Christina Hagan, R-Alliance, Anne Gonzales, R-Westerville, Cliff Rosenberger, R-Clarksville, and Lynn Wachtmann, R-Napoleon.

Residents of the 55th House District who wish to be considered for the appointment should provide a letter of interest to Speaker Batchelder at 77 South High Street, 14th floor, Columbus, Ohio 43215 by 5 p.m. Wednesday, June 1. The screening panel will contact applicants after the June 1 deadline with further details regarding the screening of candidates.

Candidates can expect to be screened the week of June 6 and, after a vote of the House Republican Caucus, the new member should expect to be appointed during House session on Wednesday, June 8.
