Cuyahoga Falls Councilman Enters Mayoral Race Against Robart
Things could get interesting in local politics this September.
It appears Cuyahoga Falls Mayor Don Robart has a challenger in the 2013 November General election, according to the Falls News-Press.
information released Wednesday by the Summit County Board of Elections indicates Cuyahoga Falls City Council President Don Walters, Ward 6, is running on the Democratic ticket.
Since no other candidates filed for the Sept. 10 primary, there will be no primary in the mayor’s race.
A Republican primary election for Ward 1 Council could be held between Anthony George Karam Jr. and Lynne Weihe. The victor would face Democratic incumbent Vince Rubino for the council seat.
There will be a pair of primaries for the Ward 3 seat. Republican incumbent Vic Pallotta Jr., recently picked by the Summit County Republican Central Committee for Ward 3, will likely face Arden Barnhart in September.
Ward 3 Democratic primary candidates are Michael Michelli and Mike Penta.
