Larry Hicks has announced that he will run for a third term on the Geary County Commission. He represents the second county commission district.

“I’m hopeful that we’ll be able to continue some of the efforts that were initiated in 2016. The County has a lot of challenges in front of it and we’re working as best as we possibly can to effectively address them.”

Commissioner Florence Whitebread has announced that she will not seek re-election to the third district seat on the governing body and commissioner Ben Bennett is not up election this year. John Moyer and Keith Ascher have filed for election to the third district seat. Both Ascher and Moyer are residents of eastern Geary County.
