Ryan McNaughton has served his city well, and we congratulate him on his new role, as well as the Youngstown Warren Regional Chamber on a good hiring decision.
McNaughton resigned last week from his council seat to take over as the new vice president for government affairs for the chamber.
McNaughton, Niles councilman at large, was in his third term. During his elected service, he has been forward thinking and conscientious.
While serving Niles constituents, he focused on important issues such as prioritizing a plan to develop and improve the city’s infrastructure. He also played an important role in the financially struggling city’s fiscal turnaround.
NILES Councilman at-Large Ryan McNaughton has submitted his letter of resignation from Niles City Council.
McNaughton submitted the letter to the Trumbull County Board of Elections on Friday and his final day on council will be Sunday. Niles Mayor Steve Mientkiewicz confirmed McNaughton submitted the letter Friday.
“Because of my new job, I don’t really have a choice. I had to,” McNaughton said.
He said he is going to be the new vice president for government affairs for the Youngstown Warren Regional Chamber.
“They recruited me, and it all happened very fast. I couldn’t say no to it,” McNaughton said.
