Four have filed so far for Holton commission positions

Four people have filed for two Holton City Commission seats included on the April election ballot.

Dan Brenner has filed for re-election to position four on the commission. Brenner is currently serving his first three-year term on the board.

Holton residents Christina Cobler, Mike Meerpohl and Christina Murphy have all filed for position two on the commission.

Erich Campbell is the commissioner currently representing the position two seat. Campbell was recently selected to serve as a magistrate judge for the Second Kansas Judicial District in Pottawatomie County and will resign from his position on the city commission at the end of January, it was reported. 

Holton residents have until noon on Tuesday, Jan. 26, to file as candidates for position two or four on the city commission.

To file for a commission seat, Jackson County Clerk Kathy Mick said that candidates must register at Holton City Hall, 430 Pennsylvania Ave., by paying a $5 filing fee. They may also file by petition by obtaining 25 signatures from local registered voters.

Holton City Commissioners serve three-year terms and meet the first and third Mondays of the month at 7 p.m. at Holton City Hall.
