Auditor Headed to New Office in County Building

LOUISVILLE, Ohio (News Talk 1480 WHBC) – Stark County has a new commissioner.

County Auditor Alan Harold was elected by members of the county Republican Party’s central committee in a meeting in Louisville Thursday night.

He will replace Janet Creighton who stepped down a little over two weeks ago.

Harold must resign as auditor before being sworn in as commissioner.

Then the process starts again for the office of auditor, where an interim will need to be selected by commissioners.

There were eight candidates for the commissioner’s position.
