speaks to the Darke
County Republican Women’s Club at the recent “Meet the Republican
Candidates” night held at the club’s regular monthly meeting. Myers
will be on the May 3 Republican Primary ballot for re-election.
“I have spent 31 years with the city of Greenville” stated Greenville
City Auditor Nancy Myers as she addressed the Darke County Republican
Women’s Club (DRWC) at their recent regular monthly meeting. “As
auditor, I deal with all city departments and work with the city
economic development committee.”
The DCRWC invited the Republican candidates, whose names will appear on
the Republican primary ballot on May 3, to speak. There are two
candidates for Greenville Mayor: incumbent Mayor Mike Bowers and
Current City Council member Doug Schmidt. In addition to Myers, other
candidates are incumbent Greenville City Councilman for Ward Four John
Baumgardner and candidate for First Ward of Greenville City Council
Kate Buchy Kerg.
Bowers, Schmidt and Myers were in attendance and spoke to the group
regarding their qualifications and desire to represent the Republican
Party in the November general election. The other candidates had
schedule conflicts.
“We’ve got a wonderful town here – a great community – we need to
rebuild our pride and concentrate on listening to the people.” stated
Bowers. “I hope people will recognize the good track record I have for
economic expansion, retention and development.”
“I’m hoping to help with job retention. It is huge. We have a great
workforce, we need to keep the jobs here.” said Schmidt. “I’ve been on
council for eight years and was with GTI for 18 years. I now run my own
business.”
Jesse Green, Republican candidate for Municipal Court judge, will not
be on the Republican primary ballot on May 3. He will be running in the
November General Election. Green was also extended the opportunity to
say a few words to the group.
“Choosing the right spouse is probably the most important decision any
of us make in our lives.” stated Green, as he went on to tell the group
about a recent “April Fool’s” day joke he played on his wife.
Darke County residents may vote for any Republican candidates in the
May 3 primary election by asking for a Republican ballot when voting.

ballot be mailed to them, or they may go to the Board of Elections, 300
