Nabakowski Chosen to Fill Lorain County Clerk Seat
Lorain County Democratic Party selected Ron Nabakowski Thursday to serve the remaining year of Don Rothgery’s term as Common Pleas Court clerk. He defeated Sally Pack, a 29 year court employee, including 14 years as chief deputy clerk, while Rothgery left to become Elyria Municipal Court clerk. Rothgery urged Pack’s selection, citing her readiness, but Nabakowski argued the pick should preserve a key political post and help win the March 7 primary.
