The Ohio Primary Election will be held Tuesday, May 4, 2021, and candidates who will be on the Darke County Republican ballot have been asked to speak and take questions. Candidates are John A. Baumgardner for President of the Greenville City Council, Rebecca Strait for Greenville City Treasurer, Brian R. Brown, Doug Schmidt, Jeffrey Whitaker, and Douglas Wright for Greenville City Council.
