REP. SEITZ THE SOLE APPLICANT FOR CLANCY'S SENATE SEAT

Rep. Bill Seitz was the only person to beat a Friday deadline for an appointment to a Senate seat that will become vacant in the short term, all but assuring what was already his likely selection to move to the upper chamber.

Mr. Seitz (R-Cincinnati) asked Senate Republicans to appoint him to the 8th District seat, which Sen. Patti Clancy will resign in the coming weeks.

Ms. Clancy has been selected to become assistant chief probation officer at the Hamilton County Common Pleas Court. (See Gongwer Ohio Report, August 17, 2007)

Caucus leaders were scheduled to meet with applicants for the job on Wednesday, but the fact that Mr. Seitz was the only person to apply makes that meeting a formality.
He currently holds the House Majority Whip position.
