Lucas County's new GOP chief focus of 'Deadline Now'

7/25/2008

Musician, maverick, photographer, and music journalist are all words that could describe Jon Stainbrook, the newly elected chairman of the Lucas County Republican Party.

Last month, Mr. Stainbrook and his group of "new guard" recruits journeyed to a banquet hall in the Toledo suburb of Holland, where they wrested control of the GOP from so-called traditional "country club" leadership.

Mr. Stainbrook will explain his operation methods and outlook for the party as he takes questions from Jack Lessenberry, host of the weekly TV program Deadline Now who also is The Blade's ombudsman. Deadline Now will be broadcast at 8:30 tonight and at 2:30 a.m. tomorrow on WGTE-TV, Channel 30.
