The mission of the Jefferson County Republican Party is to return to our roots of fiscal conservatism, improve our message delivery, connect on local campuses, keep former volunteers and the newly energized involved, build beyond our traditional base, have a strong candidate selection locally, and help support local and statewide candidates in Ohio.

Tony Morelli

After a long business career and a lifetime interest in the success of our county, I strongly believe it’s time for fresh faces and fresh ideas to be elected to the Board of County Commissioners. While our current Commissioners have done a good job moving Jefferson County in the right direction, I feel that the time is right for a new perspective. This is a tough job that requires a full-time voice, something I am committed to. I’m confident that, with my background and knowledge of the issues and opportunities facing our county, I am the right person to bring fresh solutions to the seat.
