ZANESVILLE, Ohio-The Muskingum County Board of Elections has chosen a new leader.
In the wake of Tim Thompsons’s retirement the board selected Marlee Gibson as their new director and Chris Hamill as the new deputy director. Pat Hennessey is the new Chairperson. “Marlee has been here for approximately fourteen years.
