DISCUSSION: WHO "REALLY" RUNS THE STARK COUNTY DEMOCRATIC PARTY?


Did Stark County Democratic de jure chairman Johnnie A. Maier, Jr. make a deal with Jackson Township fiscal officer Randy Gonzalez allowing Maier (when he first ran for chairman) to become chairman unchallenged by Gonzalez in exchange for Maier's promise to allow Gonzalez to assume the role of becoming the de facto chairman?

Sounds plausible to the STARK COUNTY POLITICAL REPORT (The Report).

Maier named Gonzalez not merely a vice president of the party BUT "EXECUTIVE VICE CHAIRMAN."

The Report has had a number of conversations with area leaders of both political parties and there appears to be a consensus that Gonzalez is the "brains of the party" and that Maier does nothing of party signifcance without first clearing with Gonzalez.

So again, the question: Who "really" runs the Stark County Democratic Party?
