Uhrichsville Council to select its next Ward 2 representative

UHRICHSVILLE (April 1, 2025) – The city is accepting applicants to fill a vacant council position.
Leigh Ann McCray left the Ward 2 seat more than a month ago. The Tuscarawas County Republican Party did not name a replacement in 45 days, so Council President Buck Cottrell says that means it’s up to City Council.
Cottrell says applicants don’t have to be Republican but need to have lived in Ward 2 for at least a year.
The deadline for submitting a letter of interest to Uhrichsville Council is Tuesday, April 8th.
If council doesn’t fill the seat, the mayor decides.
McCray took office in January 2024. Her replacement would finish the rest of the term until Dec. 31, 2027.
