(KNZA)--Brown County farmer Jack Geiger has announced his campaign for the 62nd District seat in the Kansas House of Representatives.

Geiger is seeking the position as an independent, unaffiliated candidate. He says the current political climate is too divided, and he believes an independent voice can better represent all constituents.

Because he is not affiliated with a political party, Geiger must qualify for the ballot by petition and is currently gathering signatures.

The seat is currently held by Republican Sean Willcott of Holton, who has filed for re-election.

Geiger is a lifelong Kansas resident and a graduate of Kansas State University, where he earned a degree in agronomy. He has also held township and community leadership roles and has been active in several agricultural organizations.

The 62nd District includes Brown and Nemaha counties, along with portions of Atchison and Jackson counties.

The general election is scheduled for November third.
