Former Newburgh Heights mayor, Trevor Elkins, who was convicted for misusing campaign funds in 2022, is seeking reelection. Both mayoral candidates refused on-camera interviews.
NEWBURGH HEIGHTS, Ohio — The ex-mayor of Newburgh Heights is running for office again. Last year, Trevor Elkins resigned from office after pleading guilty to misusing campaign funds. A state election commission investigation found he spent more than $134,000 of campaign funds for personal use between 2015 and 2019. Council member Gigi Traore then assumed office as mayor after his resignation in 2022. Both Elkins and Traore recently announced they’re running for the seat this year.
“I want to make sure he understands that he doesn't do anything like that again, that you can’t do that as a mayor,” Kessel added. “Especially in a small community like this. Everyone knows you and sees what’s going on.” “I think people need to understand it was a really stupid mistake,” said Kray. “I trust him because I see the difference he has made. I see the difference he’s made to residents, to the village, and to bring in opportunities to residents.”
Elkins did respond to News 5 via email. When News 5 asked why voters should trust him, he responded by saying, “My experience has shown me that the best way to communicate the answer is to have that conversation directly with them. I will continue to answer this question for the residents if they raise it as a concern while I meet with them throughout this year.”
