Democratic treasurer candidate has three bankruptcies, criminal record

The Democratic candidate for Franklin County Treasurer has filed for bankruptcy three times and was convicted of passing bad checks and purchasing cocaine nearly 20 years ago. Cheryl Brooks Sullivan, a local real estate agent, had never appeared on a ballot before the March primary, when she pulled a major upset by defeating incumbent Treasurer Ed Leonard. Now she’ll have to overcome her past if she wants to win the general election and take office to oversee Franklin County's finances.
