Katie O’Neill for Ohio Senate, 18th District: endorsement editorial


Four years ago, our editorial board endorsed Lake County Commissioner Jerry Cirino for election to an open seat in an 18th Ohio Senate District that then covered parts of Lake and Geauga counties and all of Portage County. We cited his proven small-business track record and focus on economic development.

The 18th has since been redistricted to include all of Lake County and about 20 communities in eastern and southern Cuyahoga County, including Brecksville, Solon, Mayfield Heights, Seven Hills, Independence and Cuyahoga Heights. And Cirino, 72, has not lived up to the expectations our editorial board cited in supporting his election.
