(KMZA)--A new Marshall County Attorney has been selected.
The Marysville Advocate reports the Marshall County Republican Party Central Committee Tuesday evening nominated Meghan Voracek, of Seneca, to fill the term of Laura Johnson-McNish.
Johnson-McNish is stepping down to accept an appointment as a district magistrate judge in Doniphan County.
Voracek, who practices law with the O’Keefe Law Office in Seneca, was among two candidates for the position. The second candidate was Coleman Younger, of Frankfort.
Voracek’s name will now be forwarded to Governor Laura Kelly for appointment to a term expiring in January 2021. The position is up for election next year.
