Surprise. The Cuyahoga
County Democrat Party endorsement for County Executive candidate went to Rep. Armand Budish. The
Plain Dealer reports here.
The Cuyahoga County
Executive Democrat Candidate Forum last weekend showed Budish getting 39 of a possible
53 votes in a straw poll. Former county Sheriff Bob Reid came in second with 8, and State Sen. Shirley Smith
trailed with 4.
The likely Republican
nominee is County Councilman Jack Schron.
