Katherine Procop

Katherine Procop, 61, Republican, Mayoral Candidate (unopposed). "I have been honored to serve the great community and residents of the City of Twinsburg. Having served as Mayor since 1999 uniquely qualifies me for this position. I have managed a work force of over 160 employees as well as a multi-million dollar budget for over twelve years. The City has prospered through economic development initiatives, green space has increased from 600 acres to over 2000 acres, and city revenue has been leveraged to secure millions of dollars in grants used for land purchases, safety, roadway & infrastructure improvements as well as energy saving projects."

Steve Murphy, 64, Republican, Ward 3 City Council Candidate. "Having been elected twice to city council, I bring experience and ideas. The biggest issue for my ward is jobs. I would remove the extra income tax immediately, thereby encouraging businesses to locate in Twinsburg. We need to provide the services our residents have become accustomed to: senior center, parks with plenty of activities for everyone, a top notch service department, and the finest police and fire protection."
