Brown Wins Sixth District Court of Appeals Re election
Clifford Brown of Norwalk defeats Harvey Straub for a new six year term on the Sixth District Court of Appeals by about 5 000 votes. Brown carried seven counties offsetting Lucas County’s 18 000 deficit with strong showings in Huron County 8327 to 2238. Both judges currently serve on the court. Straub’s bid stems from a push to gain four more years, though a constitutional reform caps term age at 70. Brown leads by 5 543 in unofficial county tallies with Fulton County still pending.
