Changes at Butler County Democrat Party

On Tuesday, April 29, 2008, Ron Wardrup resigned as Chair of the Executive Committee of the Butler County Democratic Party. Ron Wardrup’s tenure was a highly successful one, with local appearances of Governor Ted Strickland and United States Senator Sherrod Brown. Wardrup was also prominent in calls for the Ohio Ethics Committee to investigate the Butler County Commissioners for their decision concerning questionable retirement buyouts and substantial pay increases to individuals related to commissioners, and questionable hiring practices.

The Party will announce an upcoming date for the current Executive Committee to select a new chair. In the interim, the Party will be led by Executive Committee Vice Chair Glenda Smith and Central Committee Chair John Holcomb.

The Butler County Democratic Party greatly appreciates the efforts of Ron Wardrup during his time as chair and wishes him nothing but the best.

We are very excited about the dinner, and would like to extend an invitation to you to be a part of this year’s event.

In conjunction with our dinner, we will be holding a silent auction.

This is an exciting year for the Democratic Party. For the first time in many years the majority of voters in Butler County are Democratic. If you’re interested in attending this year’s dinner, please call our headquarters at 896-5201.
