CLEVELAND, Ohio – The filing deadline for prospective write-in candidates passed Monday with no one challenging any of five Cuyahoga County Council members seeking new terms during the Nov. 3 election, according to the Cuyahoga County Board of Elections.
That means four of the five incumbents face no opposition in the partisan races. But Dyrone Smith, a Libertarian who ran a long-shot campaign for Cleveland mayor in 2017, is running as an independent against Council Vice President Pernel Jones Jr..
Jones represents District 8, which includes portions of Cleveland, along with Garfield Heights, Maple Heights, Cuyahoga Heights and Newburgh Heights.
Running unopposed are:
-Democratic Councilman Dale Miller of District 2, representing Brook Park, Lakewood and portions of Cleveland.
-Democratic Councilman Scott Tuma of District 4, representing Parma, Middleburg Heights and Parma Heights
-Republican Councilman Jack Schron of District 6, representing several east side communities including Brecksville, Broadview Heights, Independence, Mayfield Heights, Seven Hills and Solon.
-Democratic Councilwoman Cheryl Stephens of District 10, representing East Cleveland, Cleveland Heights, University Heights, Bratenahl and portions of Cleveland.
Nonpartisan candidate Danielle Dronet had filed to run against Stephens in the general election, but Dronet was removed as a candidate after the board of elections found she failed to collect enough signatures to make the ballot.
The terms of the remaining six council members, four Democrats and two Republicans, expire in 2022.
The part-time positions pay $52,884 a year.
