HUTCHINSON, Kan. — A Democrat has filed for the Reno County Commission District 4 seat.
Michael Jobe pastors at Living Hope Freewill Baptist Church, serves as a volunteer chaplain at Hutchinson Regional Medical Center, and fills multiple roles at the Hutchinson NAACP, including presiding as Chairman for the NAACP Religious Affairs.
Jobe and his family own Aleesa Soaps in downtown Hutchinson.
“I believe in community service and I believe in giving," Jobe said in a release. "This community has given me so much in the 26 years I’ve lived here, and it’s time for me to give something back to it. I can do that by working with our County and our City to help lower our poverty levels and put in place programs that support businesses, families and our children.”
Jobe is the first Democrat to file in any of the County Commission districts. The deadline to file is noon on Wednesday.
