Rain did not deter Ohio University College Republicans from protesting outside Sarah Grace’s local campaign office, 19 W. Washington St., in response to a $5,800 discrepancy in the East Elementary Parent Teacher Organization’s funds, where Grace recently served as treasurer.

Grace, the Democratic candidate for the 94th district seat in the Ohio House of Representatives, served as the treasurer from 2014 through June 2016, according to a previous Post report. The current treasurer noticed a funding discrepancy in August, the report states.

Meeting minutes from the organization show Grace deposited $1,651.60 in both cash and checks on Aug. 26, money earned from the school’s book fair in May.
