Search begins for Shannon Jones’ replacement
State Reps. Ron Maag, R-Lebanon, and John Adams, R-Sidney, will co-chair the screening committee to recommend a replacement for Shannon Jones in the Ohio House for the 67th District.
House Minority Leader Bill Batchelder, R-Medina, announced formation of the committee on Monday, Aug. 17. The deadline to apply for the appointment is Friday, Aug. 28, a press release said. Applicants should send their information to:
Republican Leader Bill Batchelder

Last week Jones was appointed to the state Senate in the 7th District to replace Robert Schuler who died.
The 67th House District covers part of Warren County from Springboro to the southern part of the county.
Mason Vice Mayor Pete Beck and Lebanon Councilman Jeff Monroe both have said they plan to apply for the appointment, which will be made by the House Republican Caucus.
Other on the screening committee include: Reps. Peggy Lehner, R-Kettering; Seth Morgan, R-Huber Heights; Jim Zehringer, R-Fort Recovery and Courtney Combs, R-Hamilton.

“Search”?!?! How hard could it be? I’m pretty sure you can just shake a tree in Warren County and neo-cons tumble to the ground, each one just as knee jerk, reactionary, and disconnected from reality as Rep. Jones was.
