HUTCHINSON, Kan. — All five Reno County Commission seats have a candidate for the upcoming primary.
The Reno County Clerk's Office says Republican Mike Warren has filed for the seat in the fifth district, which makes up the southeast part of Hutchinson and a part of Reno County.
That fills all five seats for what will be a newly-expanded commission that was voted on and approved by the public. Mark Reese has filed in the new commission District 4 as a Republican. The new District 4 has its entire boundary in the city of Hutchinson. Republican Chris Corey has filed for Ron Sellers' seat in District 1 after Commissioner Sellers declined to run for another term. Ron Hirst in District 2 and Daniel Friesen in District 3 are in the middle of their terms that end in 2024.
Reno County commissioners serve four-year terms and must reside within their district boundaries. The filing deadline for commission seats is June 1 at noon. The primary, if necessary, will take place in August.
