The Knox County Commission seat in the Fifth district Seat C previously held by Republican John C. Griess and now being represented by Republican and former fifth district Commissioner Frank Leuthold has generated no interest. That is beginning to change.
Frank Leuthold has pledged to not run for this seat in the 2008 election cycle.
To this date no Treasurer appointments have been filed for Seat C in the Fifth district. On September 14, one week from this Friday, qualifying petitions will be given out by the Knox County Election Commission.
The first probable “testing the waters” candidate that will obtain a qualifying petition is John Emison, President of Citizens for Home Rule.
