Senator Tim Grendell (R- Chesterland) has been appointed by Governor Kasich to
fill a vacancy on the Geauga County Common Pleas Court’s Juvenile/Probate
Division. Grendell must run for the seat next November in order to fill out the
unexpired term that ends in February 2015. He will take the bench on September
21. Grendell has served in the legislature since 2001. He currently chairs the
Senate Judiciary-Criminal Justice Committee. Senate President Tom Niehaus (R-

Apportionment Board finalizes new legislative districts. Grendell is the seventh
Senator to leave the legislature since the 2010 election.
