June 2026 Special Election & Results!
Due to the stepping down by both our Chair and First Vice Chair, Schuyler Rhodes and Kathy Long respectfully, Mike Keil moved into Chair position and a Special Election was called to fill our two vacant chair positions.
A call for candidates was sent out last week and we received a number of applications to fill these significant roles. Today at our regular county meeting, members in attendance cast their votes (as per our party bylaws), and we are happy to announce the results and welcome our new vice chairs!
First Vice Chair: Christine White
Second Vice Chair: Teisha Leavitt
Thank you to all who participated, and a huge thank you to all our candidates!
