Bobbitt, serving in her third term, was appointed to the seat in January 2016 after failing to gather enough valid signatures to appear on the previous fall ballot.

Because of the timing of the appointment, the term expires at the end of this year, according to the Montgomery County Board of Elections.

Both Bobbitt, 52, and Cox, 51, are Moraine residents.
