Domenick Mucci, Jr. (born 1956) is the current Mayor of Steubenville, Ohio, winning six four-year terms of office since 1993.[1] He is also the Executive Director for the Jefferson County Chamber of Commerce.[2]

Background

A Steubenville native, Mucci's parents were both born and raised in Steubenville, and his father was a second generation immigrant from Italy.[3] In the 2013 election, Mucci won 50.41% of the vote against challenger Lou Arrico, a Republican, who had previously run against Mucci in 2009 and lost by a thousand votes.[4] Turnout in 2013 was 30.74%.[5] Mucci was the acting city manager of Steubenville in 2013.[6] While making some appointments, the Mayor of Steubenville is largely a ceremonial position, with such roles as presiding over Council meetings and representing the city at regional and state meetings.[7] In 2012 for example, Mayor Mucci attended 302 meetings in the community, presided over 48 council meetings, and performed 34 weddings.[8] In rare instances, the Mayor breaks a tie in city council voting.[9]

DUI controversy

Mucci has had three alcohol-related driving offenses.[10] On July 31, 2011, Mucci hit two parked vehicles in Steubenville at 2:22am. After originally entering a not guilty plea on August 1, 2013, Mucci pleaded guilty to drunk driving on August 23, and was sentenced to three days in jail, one year of probation, a $524 fine, and six months of limited driving privileges.[11] Mucci spent October 14–16 in the Harrison County, Ohio, jail.[12]
