A finalist to replace Faber who was newly appointed to the Ohio Senate. Having replaced Congressman Jim Jordan there was a need to fill Faber’s newly won House seat. Who that would be wasn’t announced until just recently in the news.
And the winner is….
FORT RECOVERY, Ohio — If all goes as planned, Jim Zehringer will resign as Mercer County commissioner to become state representative.
Tuesday in Columbus an Ohio House screening committee sent Zehringer’s nomination to the full House Republican Caucus. A vote will soon be scheduled so that Zehringer can be seated by mid-February.He will replace Keith Faber as state representative of the Ohio 77th House District. Faber was appointed to replace Jim Jordan as state senator. Jordan was elected in November to Congress to replace the now-retired Rep. Mike Oxley.The 77th district takes in all of Mercer County and portions of Darke and Preble counties.
Aren’t we glad Republicans maintained the House in Ohio! Sen. Faber is a real conservative who will be a great replacement for Congressman Jim Jordan. We hope that Zehringer will be a good match for the position. He has big shoes to fill.
