Democratic Party of Muskingum Finds New Leader
MUSKINGUM COUNTY, Ohio-The Muskingum County Democratic Party has appointed Michael Nern as its new chairperson.
Nern is a semi-retired professor at Ohio University Zanesville and a lifelong supporter of the Democratic party. He sees himself as the face of the party, responsible for representing all elected democrats in the county.
“We’re hoping to grow membership. I know that young people are excited about the party these days, so we’re looking to attract young people. We’re looking to attract and get back some members that might have gone away for a while, and to just get democrats and people who might be independent leaning, that way, to join our club,” Nern said of his responsibilities.
