BATAVIA — Both candidates seeking the Republican nomination for Clermont County commissioner say they bring a different perspective to the board.

        David Caudill, the clerk of courts, says he has a working familiarity with county government, while R. Scott Croswell, a lawyer and businessman, says he brings the perspective of someone outside of politics.

        Mr. Croswell, co-owner of Croswell Bus Lines, and Mr. Caudill describe themselves as conservative Republicans, but they have made qualifications the main issue in the race.

        They are competing in Tuesday's primary for the Republican nomination. The winner will face Democrat Gregg Conrad in the November election to succeed Commissioner Martha Dorsey, who is not seeking re-election. The salary will be $57,425.

        “In the seven years I've been clerk, I've been able to participate in the budgetary process, running one of the larger county offices,” said Mr. Caudill, 38, who lives in Union Township.

        Mr. Croswellsaid his business experience is needed on the three-member board.

        “I will bring an independence to county government,” said Mr. Croswell, 55, of Miami Township. “I have not been involved in the political hierarchy of the county.”
