Trish Giordano will seek election to a four-year term in the 1st District seat on the Geary County Commission. She filed by petition on Monday at the County Office Building. "Running as an Independent (candidate ) I just can't file a fee unlike the Republicans and Democrats, so I had to get a petition signed by four percent of the voters in my district, and that was close to 300." Giordano added that she obtained a few extra signatures.
Giordano is in her second year on the commission. "I ran last time on getting a financial officer in place and getting more fiscal responsibility as well as being more transparent with our money, and both of those have been done."
Giordano said during the next four years she would like to work with the Finance Officer to do a three to five year capital improvement plan, update our purchase policy, do a finance policy and she would like to get a childcare task force up and running.
Giordano will run against Brad Roether, a Republican from Milford, in the November general election.
