"Tom has quietly and effectively made positive change in our community," said Montgomery County Sheriff Phil Plummer, who chairs the county party. "His experience and success in the private sector and knowledge of the process of public policy will serve Montgomery County Board of Elections and the Ohio Secretary of State well."
Ohio Secretary of State Jon Husted will make the appointment and typically goes with those who are recommended.
Young would replace attorney Greg Gantt, former county party chairman.
“The board’s very special to me and I want to see it do well, but I respect the parties decision and trust that Tom Young will do a good job," Gantt said.
"We would like to publicly thank Greg Gantt for his service to the community," Plummer said.
