City Council Candidates Line Up for Ward Seats

Mayor unopposed, but primaries set in three races

With one day left for candidates to file for municipal offices in Strongsville, Mayor Tom Perciak remains unopposed.

Also running alone -- so far -- is Council President Mike Daymut, who represents Ward 1.

But there will be primary elections in Wards 2, 3 and 4, where multiple candidates are seeking election, according to the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections.

A five-way primary is shaping up in Ward 2, where incumbent Ray Haseley faces opposition from Nathan Prahst, Matthew Schonhut, William White and Anthony Zubek.

In Ward 3, where long-time incumbent Mark Roth has said he will not seek re-election, three candidates have filed as of today -- Jim Carbone, Larry Frawley and Tom McMillen.

Three candidates have also filed petitions for the Ward 4 seat, which has been held for several weeks by Scott Maloney. Maloney was appointed to fill a vacancy created when Mike Gallagher left to serve on the Cuyahoga County Council.

Maloney, who served on the Strongsville School Board before being appointed to council, will be challenged by Patricia Pell, who had also sought appointment to the seat, and Steven Sinisgalli.

In Strongsville, races with more than two candidates are narrowed down in a May primary and decided in the November general election.

Candidates have until 4 p.m. Thursday, Feb. 17 to file petitions for office.

Council representatives serve four-year terms. The three at-large council seats are not up for election this year.
