(KNZA)--After being defeated in the August primary election by a narrow margin, longtime Brown County Commissioner Steve Roberts has announced he's running as a write-in candidate for the November 6 general election.

Roberts has filed the required paperwork with the Brown County Clerk's office to run as a write-in.

He was defeated in the August Republican primary by Richard Lehmkuhl by a 40-vote margin after holding the District 1 commission position for 20 years.

In a written statement, Roberts said during his time on the commission he's been part of the decision process that's brought a lot of positive change to the county, while at the same time keeping the cost to taxpayers at a minimum.

Roberts said he believes the choices made by government are not to be taken lightly, as they affect the lives of local residents and he said that’s one of the reasons why he has decided to run as a write-in candidate.
