Due to the death of a Scott Township Advisory Board member, Kosciusko County Republican Central Committee Chair Mike Ragan will appoint a replacement to the seat.
Tom Besson, who served on the board, died Nov. 25 at the age of 71.
Eligible applicants must be a resident of Scott Township, Kosciusko County; a Republican in good standing; and must not have a felony in their history.
Since fewer than two persons would be eligible to participate in a precinct committeemen caucus to fill the vacancy, Ragan will make the appointment for the vacancy for the remaining unexpired term, effective Dec. 30. There are two years left on the term.
The vacancy will be filled and announced at 2 p.m. Dec. 30 at the Kosciusko County Clerk’s Office, 121 N. Lake St., Warsaw.
Declarations of candidacy and statements of economic interests are available at the office of the county clerk and must be notarized and filed with Ragan no later than 72 hours prior to the appointment.
“Additionally, we would like to express our sympathy to the family and friends of Tom Besson,” Ragan stated in the news release about the board appointment.
