Longtime Franklin County Board of Elections member Kimberly Marinello has died of cancer
Longtime Franklin County Board of Elections member Kimberly E. Marinello has died at 72 from brain cancer, according to her fellow board members. Marinello served on the board since 2008 and she died on July 18, said her fellow Democrat on the board, Mike Sexton. "Just an outstanding, dedicated Democrat," Sexton said of Marinello. "Her work was meticulous. She's very efficient and she's been one of the most loyal Democrats I have ever met." Sexton said Marinello was diagnosed with cancer just about a month ago at the end of June. That's when she stepped down from her role as treasurer for the Franklin County Democratic Party, a role she had held since 2003. Now, the county party has 15 days to nominate a replacement to the county board of elections for the Ohio Secretary of State to approve. In Ohio, county boards of elections are made up of two Republicans and two Democrats. The county party already had a meeting scheduled for the evening of July 22, so Sexton said the party will vote then on a nominee. Doug Preisse, a Republican and chairman of the Franklin County Board of Elections, told the Dispatch that the whole board is saddened and Marinello was a truly decent person. "For the many years I served with Kim, while she was always a loyal Democrat, she was first and foremost a loyal public servant," Preisse said. "She looked out for the best interest of Franklin County voters. It was a pleasure and honor to serve next to her."

Emma Meesseman to join New York Liberty, play in WNBA for first time since 2022: Report
The New York Liberty were already in position to defend their WNBA championship this season. Now, midseason, the Liberty are adding another player who knows a thing or two about winning a title. Emma Meesseman, who earned 2019 WNBA Finals MVP honors with the Washington Mystics, is joining the Liberty, according to a report from ESPN's Alexa Philippou. The 6-foot-4 forward and Belgium native hasn't played in the W since the 2022 season. How long it takes for her to go through the visa application process will determine when she makes her debut with the Liberty, per Philippou. A two-time WNBA All-Star, Meesseman most recently averaged 12.4 points, 5.6 rebounds and 3.8 assists per game for the Chicago Sky in 2022. This story is being updated.
