      A Woodworth Rd., North Lima man has indicated he will seek 2a seat on the Boardman Township Board of Trustees in this November’s general elections.
      Richard Barron, 53, of 11372 Woodworth Rd., North Lima, made the announcement of his candidacy in a Mahoning County Republican Party newsletter issued last week.
      Barron says he will seek the seat by changing his voter registration address to his wife’s home in Boardman, noted in Mahoning County Auditor’s Office records at 993 Anderson Dr.
      In a post on social media on Mon., Mar. 11, Barron said “Today I officially changed my address to my wife’s home in Boardman,” adding that he helped to lay floor tile during construction in the 1990s of the township government center.
      Barron unsuccessfully ran for Mahoning County Commissioner last year against incumbent Carol Rimedio-Righetti. Part of his campaign for county office included his stated opposition to a Boardman Park levy that was on the ballot.
      On Mar. 1 his Facebook page displayed the following: “Stupid people are like glow sticks. I want to snap them and shake the shit out of them until the light comes on.”
      Up for election is one seat on the Boardman Township Board of Trustees that is currently held by Larry Moliterno, who has indicated he will seek re-election, and who is known to support community projects and involvement, and not use simple profanity on social media.
