Ohio Senate Minority Leader Joe Schiavoni (D-Boardman) has filed for re-election for in the 33rd District:
      “Since starting in the Senate over five years ago, it has been an honor and a privilege to represent the Mahoning Valley everyday as a state senator. I have worked hard to be accessible to those who have needed assistance, and reasonable when addressing issues in Columbus in order to provide my constituents with the best representation possible.
      “While I believe progress has been made in creating jobs, improving education, and restoring neighborhoods throughout my district, there still is a lot of work to be done. That is why I am asking for voters to instill their trust in me for another term.”
      The 33rd District encompasses all of Mahoning and Columbiana counties. Schiavoni was initially appointed to a vacant seat in the Ohio Senate in 2008, and was elected to a full four-year term for his seat in 2010.
