(KAIR)--The Atchison County Commission has organized for the new year, making that move after officials, both elected and appointed, were sworn in to their roles for 2025.

That happened Monday, during a special organizational meeting of the Commission, with Judge John Fresh administering the oath of office.

Among those sworn in were 1st District County Commissioner James Campbell, appointed to that position by the Atchison County GOP during a December convention. He fills the vacancy created by the November election of former Commissioner Dr. Allen Reavis as 63rd District State Representative.

Incumbent Commissioners Eric Noll, of the 2nd District, and Casey Quinn, of the 3rd District, were also sworn in for their new terms of office.

Newly appointed Atchison County Clerk Susan Carrigan was also sworn into her office, replacing the now-retired longtime Clerk, Michelle Phillips. Carrigan was appointed during a January convention of the Atchison County GOP.

Blair Burton, elected in November, was sworn in as Register of Deeds, while Atchison County Attorney Sherri Becker and Atchison County Sheriff Jack Laurie were also sworn in for their new terms.

Once the ceremony concluded, the Commission appointed its leadership for the new year, with Quinn retained in the Chairperson's position while Noll will serve the year as Vice-Chair.
