Brad Roether, Milford, has filed for election to the 1st District seat on the Geary County Commission. He filed Wednesday morning at the Geary County Clerk's Office.
Roether told JC Post that he thought trust needs to be regained in the employees and for the county. "I think we've lost a little trust over the last few years so hopefully I can bring that to the table."
Roether feels trust needs to be built from the top. "I really do. I think it's the three commissioners that will put that trust back in. " Roether also feels the working relationship between commissioners needs to be restored. "One on one. Just talk to each one of them, see where we want to go with the county."
Roether has served as the mayor of Milford for 14 years and on the Milford City Council for approximately 20 more years.
He will seek to fill the commission seat currently held by Trish Giordano. Wednesday at noon was the filing deadline for members of the Republican, Democrat and Libertarian parties. Roether filed as a Republican. Giordano is an Independent so she has until Aug. 1 to file for the county commission.
