Labette County Commissioner is elected to office after serving one year by appointment after the former commissioner was recalled. District Two Commissioner Terry Weidert says even though he ran unopposed it was good to see the support he got at the polls.

When Commissioner-Elect Vince Schibi takes office in January, Commissioner Weidert will have one year of experience and Commissioner Cole Proehl will have just over two years of experience. Weidert says he's thankful to have had a year to work alongside Commissioner Lonie Addis, who has had 40 years of experience.  Weidert says his goals for the commission include improvements to roads and bridges, employee salaries and lowering the cost of insurance.
