Montgomery County's next treasurer will be picked this week

Montgomery County’s next treasurer will be selected from three Democrats who all lost elections in November.

Zach Dickerson, Russ Joseph and Ryan Taylor all interviewed Tuesday for the treasurer’s job held until recently by Carolyn Rice, who won a county commission seat.

The final selection will be made Thursday night at a Central Committee meeting, said Mark Owens, Montgomery County Democratic Party chairman.

Dickerson, who lives in Miamisburg, lost an Ohio House 42nd District race to incumbent Rep. Niraj Antani, R-Miamisburg. Joseph of Dayton was unseated as the county’s appointed clerk of courts by Republican challenger Mike Foley. Taylor of Butler Twp. lost the Ohio House District 40 race to former county Sheriff Phil Plummer.

County commissioners selected Lynn Cooper, the treasurer’s office chief deputy, to serve as interim treasurer until Democrats name a successor to fill Rice’s term which ends in 2020.
