Geary County Treasurer Kathy Tremont has submitted her resignation, effective Feb. 1. Now Todd Godfrey, Geary County Republican Central Committee Chairman, has announced that there will be a convention to select her replacement. That selection, upon the approval of Governor Kelly, will serve as the County Treasurer for the remainder of 2022.
The convention will be held Tuesday, Nov. 23 at the Geary County Senior Center. Republican Central Committeemen and Committee women need to bring photo identification to vote in this convention. Credential check in will begin at 6 p.m. and the convention will begin at 7 p.m.
Godfrey stated that 17 precinct delegates will meet, names for treasurer will be nominated, must be seconded by a precinct person, nominees will be allowed to speak and then the precinct members will then vote for their choice. The process being utilized is similar to the one used to replace both a former sheriff and county commissioner.
