(KNZA)--Leavenworth County Republican’s will hold a convention Thursday to nominate someone to fill a vacancy on the County Commission.
The Leavenworth Times reports longtime Commissioner Clyde Graeber stepped down from his position on the Commission last week due to health reasons.
Graeber, a Republican, had represented the Commission’s 2nd District for 13 years. He was elected to a new four-year term on the commission last year.
Republican precinct members from the 2nd District will nominate someone to fill the remainder of Graeber’s term. The name will then be forwarded to Governor Sam Brownback for appointment.
The appointment will last through the 2018 general election.
In 2018, voters from the 2nd District will elect someone to serve the remaining two years of Graeber’s current term.
