(KMZA)--A Vermillion man has been nominated for appointment as the new 3rd District Marshall County Commissioner.

The Marysville Advocate reports Keith Bramhall was chosen Thursday evening from a field of nine candidates.

The selection was made by Republican precinct committee members from District 3, which covers eastern and southeast Marshall County.

Bramhall’s name will be sent to Governor Laura Kelly for appointment to fill the unexpired term of Lynn Feldhausen.  The Frankfort Republican died last month.

The term expires in January 2021.
