Candidates file nomination petitions
State Rep. Bill DeWeese, D-Waynesburg, apparently won’t have any opposition in seeking his party’s nomination for the 50th Legislative District in the April 24 primary, provided he remains on the ballot.
Although no other Democrats other than DeWeese have filed to run for their party’s nomination in the 50th Legislative District, two Republicans, Mark Fischer and George Toothman, both of Waynesburg, are each seeking their party’s nomination.
Fischer is a Waynesburg native and current borough councilman who spent most of his career working in public safety in Florida and for a consulting firm in Washington, D.C. before returning to Greene County. Toothman is the son of Common Pleas Court Judge Farley Toothman.
