Internal disciplinary action has been taken against Junction City Police Chief Kirt Nichols and Assistant Police Chief Cory Odell. Interim City Manager Gerry Vernon confirmed the action was taken after the two officials, while representing the City of Junction City, used social media to  endorse a political candidate.

Vernon also confirmed that there will not be any suspensions that will occur as a result of the incident, and the disciplinary actions were taken according to the city's personnel manual guidelines.
