GOP Appoints New Fairfield County Clerk Of Courts

The Fairfield County Republican Party's Central Committee has appointed 31-year-old Brandon Meyer as the county's new clerk of courts. Meyer replaces 61-year-old Deborah Smalley, who resigned last month under pressure from the party after she pleaded not guilty to a theft in office charge. Smalley is charged with using public employees to work on her campaign on county time. Meyer currently works for Republican Congressman Steve Stivers.
