Print
The Public Utilities Commission of Ohio attracted 31 applicants who are vying for a position on its board after Sam Randazzo, the organization's chair, resigned in the wake of the House Bill 6 scandal.
Included in the list of applicants, who would serve for three years of the five-year term, are Northeast Ohioans including Jade Davis, vice president of external affairs for Cleveland-Cuyahoga County Port Authority; James Pawlik, a Cleveland State University adjunct instructor; and Andrew W. Smyser, director of energy services for the Greater Cleveland Partnership.
A number of outgoing or former politicians have also thrown their hat into the ring. Two of the applicants, Ohio Supreme Court Justice Judith French and Ohio Sen. Sean O'Brien (D-Cortland), lost their seats this November, while others — including two former members of the Ohio House of Representatives, William Schuck (35th District) and Mike Verich (66th District) — previously held office in the state.

Fudge on the record: President-elect Joe Biden on Thursday officially announced that Warrensville Heights Democratic Rep. Marcia Fudge is his pick to be Housing and Urban Development secretary, Sabrina Eaton reports. After the announcement, Eaton interviewed Fudge about her priorities for her new job and her role in picking a congressional successor.
Bench manager: The Cuyahoga County Democratic Party will fill vacancies for the county central committee at a meeting next Thursday. What sounds like routine business could become much more important given the potential special election to replace Fudge in Congress, Seth Richardson reports. County Party Chairwoman Shontel Brown, who is running for Fudge’s seat, could use the meeting to stack the central committee with allies, paving the way for her to gain an endorsement from the party in what could be an incredibly crowded primary.
