Mahoning County Assistant Prosecutor Ralph Rivera is running for an open seat on the Mahoning County Court of Common Pleas in 2026.

Assistant Prosecutor Rivera has been with the Mahoning County Prosecutor’s Office since November 2007. In that time, he’s been assigned to the Criminal and Appellate Divisions, and is currently assigned to the County Courts. He previously served as the Assistant Chief and Chief of Criminal Division.

While the campaign is in full swing, the judicial rules do not allow fundraising to begin until November 6, 2025.

I am excited to begin this journey and I look forward to earning your trust, your support, and your vote.
