(KNZA)--A new Holton City Commissioner has been chosen to fill an upcoming vacancy.

The Commission at their December 21 meeting selected Dalton Beightel to fill the unexpired term of Dan Brenner, which runs through the end of 2022.

Brenner is stepping down from the Commission due to his election in November to the Jackson County Commission.

Beightel, who currently teaches at at Holton Elementary School, was among three candidates vying to fill Brenner's seat. The other two candidates were Rex Larrison and Jason Murphy.

Beightel will be sworn in at the Holton City Commission's next regular meeting on January 4.
