​Today, the Marion County Board of Commissioners selected Denyc Boles to fill the current vacancy for State Representative, House District 19. Ms. Boles was among three candidates nominated by the Marion County Republicans to fill the position vacated by Jodi Hack in December 2017.

Three nominees were interviewed in a special board session this morning that included Ms. Boles, Dr. Satyanarayana Chandragiri, and Michael Hunter.

“We were fortunate to have three excellent candidates and thank each for stepping forward to fill this important role representing the constituents of House District 19,” said Commissioner Janet Carlson. “Denyc Boles has extensive experience working in the legislature and brings wide-ranging knowledge and experience to hit the ground running starting with the special session next month.”

The session was videotaped and will be replayed on Comcast channel 21 today at 7 p.m., January 27 at 9 a.m., and January 28 at 4 p.m. The video is archived on Marion County social networks. It was also streamed live on Facebook and YouTube.
