The Kosciusko County Council will have a new member after tonight.
Jon Garber, George Klinger and Kelly Prater will be given three minutes to make a presentation on their own behalf in front of county precinct committeemen at the Munson Building, 212 N. Lake St., Warsaw, starting at 7 p.m.

The winner of tonight’s caucus will serve the remainder of Kinsey’s term, which runs through Dec. 31, 2014.
