(KMZA)--A new Marshall County Attorney has been selected.

The Marysville Advocate reports that the Marshall County Republican Precinct Committee, during a July 1st convention, selected Meghan Voracek of Seneca for appointment to the position.

Her name has been forwarded to Governor Laura Kelly, who will make the official appointment.

Voracek was the lone applicant for the position. She previously served as Marshall County Attorney from 2019 to 2022, before family obligations led her to return to private law practice.

Since then, Brad Lippert of Sabetha has served as county attorney for both Marshall and Nemaha Counties. Lippert is retiring effective August 1st.

Voracek will fill the remainder of Lippert’s term, which expires in 2028.
