09/03/2025

(KAIR)--An Atchison attorney, and municipal court judge, is named as one of three nominees in the final running to fill a 1st Judicial District Court Judge vacancy.

A release Tuesday names Patrick Henderson among the pool of three whose names are sent by the 1st Judicial District Nominating Commission to Kansas Governor Laura Kelly. She has 60 days to decide which one of the three will fill the vacancy for the Judicial District, comprised of Atchison and Leavenworth counties.

The Nominating Commission, on August 28, interviewed eight nominees, now narrowed to the final three, in the process to fill the vacancy created when District Judge Dan Wiley retired July 6.
