Mahoning recommends candidates to replace Boccieri

The Mahoning County Democratic Party executive committee has made its three recommendations to the Ohio Senate Democratic Caucus to fill the vacancy left by Congressman-elect John Boccieri (D-Alliance) in Ohio's 33rd Senate District. 

The Youngstown Vindicator reported that the three selected include ex-Mahoning County Commissioner David Engler; Struthers Councilman-at large Daniel R. Yemma; and Poland Trustee Robert Lidle.

Senate Minority Leader Ray Miller (D-Columbus) said that the deadline to submit an application for the seat is Friday, Dec. 5.  The caucus is accepting three recommendations from each of the counties that have a portion represented by the 33rd district seat. Miller's office said applicants can submit a cover letter and a resume to the county party chairman in the county in the 33rd Senate District in which they live.

These chairs include Ruby Gulliam in Carroll County, Lisa Antonini in Mahoning County, Johnnie Maier in Stark County and Socrates Space in Tuscarawas County. 

Miller's office said that the county parties have been asked to recommend no more than three individuals, each to the Ohio Senate Democratic Caucus by Dec. 12.

The Vindicator reported that Engler, Yemma and Lidle will be interviewed by the four-member Ohio Senate Democratic Caucus' leadership team and that the candidate selected by those four will then be considered by the full 11-member caucus. 

WYTV News reported that several of the recommended candidates may have background problems, pointing to Engler having been given a "public reprimand" by the state Supreme Court two years ago, after he admitted to having sex with one of the divorce clients of his law practice. In 1999, Engler resigned as Commissioner but was never charged with any wrongdoing.

WYTV also reported that Lidle has a pair of drunk driving convictions from several years ago.
