Actually, that was not really clear: I think a county commissioner would not have to give up the commission seat to RUN for state office, but of course, would have to give up the seat if elected to state office.

Then the replacement for the commission seat would be party-appointed in the manner that Amy Lathen was appointed upon Doug Bruce’s county commission seat dist 2 being vacated as he left for his brief stint in the House. (The state house, not the one with the steel bars.)

Staci Lynne:

I believe Senate Seat for Dist 11 – John Morse, comes up in 2014 which fits your ‘scenario’. Do not think, however, Mrs. Clark would have to give up her seat as a county commissioner to run as she did when she ran unsuccessfully for Mayor while on city council. But many of us unaffiliated voters are paying close attention to the maneuvering you suspect is in play.

I have not had time to check term end dates but does anybody know if this is a scenario possibly under-development stage:

Lisa Czelatdko not running for council in that Clark will want to ditch commissioner seat to run for John Morris seat and have party install Mrs. Czelatdko as dist 3 commissioner?
