Dozens of officials, colleagues and well-wishers turned out at the Mercer County Courthouse on Friday afternoon for the retirement party of Mercer County Board of Elections Director/Deputy Director Deb Sneddon. She was showered with praise and presented with proclamations from Mercer County Commissioners as well as Ohio Secretary of State Frank LaRose's Office. "Deb has given a tremendous amount of service to the board of elections as director, deputy director, and has also held some state offices," said board president Phil Long.
