Members of the party’s central committee who live in the 39th House district will meet at 4 p.m. Sunday at Democratic headquarters to vote on a replacement candidate, said Montgomery County Democratic Party Chairman Mark Owens.
Owens said former state senator Fred Strahorn and former Dayton mayor Rhine McLin have expressed interest. “Both of them have a good history of service to the community,” Owens said. “They both could win election and do a good job in Columbus.”
Strahorn and McLin could not be immediately reached for comment. Luckie has declined comment beyond a statement issued Thursday that said his staff is researching some errors made on reports.
“I take these matters very seriously and have instructed my team to conduct a full review of the reports in question. Out of respect for the process, I will not be addressing any questions until my team has completed their analysis,” he said in the statement.
His attorney, Lloyd Pierre-Louis, also declined to comment.
