A new commissioner has been appointed to fill a vacant position. This comes after the death of a longtime commissioner in late July. The deceased commissioner's brother has been chosen to fulfill the remainder of the term. He will also run in the upcoming election as a write-in candidate.

Election Day is scheduled for November 3rd. The appointment was made by a county judge.

Further details about the appointment and the election are available from the source, including questions raised about the new commissioner's residency.
