WARREN — “It feels good to win,” Randy Law said after his victory in the Trumbull County Clerk of Courts race. “It’s always more fun to win, and it’s kind of exciting.”

Law, a Republican and former state representative, described his win as part of a “clean sweep across the board,” reflecting what he sees as a major shift in the county’s political landscape. “You talk about changing the guard in Trumbull County politics — I’ve never seen anything like that in my lifetime. I’m excited for everybody, and for all the wonderful help from the campaign and our volunteers,” he added.

Law attributed his success to a highly visible campaign and efforts to overcome internal issues within the local party. “I’m out there, and we see people. We were already able to overcome the corruption in our local party,” he noted. While acknowledging that there are “a lot of good people in the party,” he described the election results as a “complete repudiation” of its current leadership.

Law succeeds retiring Clerk Karen Infante Allen, who held the office for over two decades. He promises to bring a fresh perspective and private-sector efficiency to the role, focusing on modernizing the clerk’s office, which handles essential services such as court filings, auto title processing, and recordkeeping. His platform includes a commitment to adopting best practices from other counties, maximizing taxpayer value, and increasing community outreach to make the office more accessible.

An advocate for cybersecurity, Law pledged to work with IT specialists to protect the office from digital threats, emphasizing the need for vigilance in the face of constant cyber risks. “You have to seek out the best information and remain vigilant because the bad guys are always a step ahead,” he remarked.

Law acknowledged his opponent’s hard-fought campaign, calling it “very competitive to the end.” As he prepares to step into his new role, he is determined to deliver efficient, up-to-date services for Trumbull County residents and improve public awareness of the office’s essential functions within the justice system.
