The current Junction City Municipal Court prosecutor, Krista Blaisdell plans to run for Geary County Attorney.

Blaisdell tells JC Post she plans to file for office next week. On her plans if elected she noted, “We have new juvenile justice policies that we’re going to have to work together to implement, there’s always a need for more awarness on our sexual assault and sexually motivated crime prosecution, and well as a need for some mental health revamping and looking at.”

Blaisdell noted she thinks she offers a team perspective, willingness to work with the other entities in our community to approach and address those issues for Geary County.

Blaisdell has served as Junction City prosecutor since 2012. She plans to run on the Republican ticket.
