GOP Chairman Gary Risch announced that at a public meeting held June 19, 2017, the Republican Central Committee selected local business owner and 4th ward resident Kate Fisher to replace Dr. Scot Gray as President of Marion City Council.
Gray had resigned from his term that was to last through the end of the year.
“I’m excited, grateful, and honored to have been selected for this position,” stated Fisher. “I truly want to make a difference in Marion and I feel that becoming City Council President is my first step in doing so.”
Fisher plans to conduct a write-in campaign to retain the seat in the upcoming November General Election. She will be sworn-in by Judge Theresa Ballinger at 5:45 PM on Monday, June 26, 2017, at City Hall, and will assume her role at the next City Council meeting.
