Koenig in Commission Race

Greg Koenig threw his hat in the ring for county commissioner on Wednesday at the Republican Central Committee meeting. An optometrist who served on the Churchill County school board for 12 years, Koenig said he is announcing early in hopes that it will give republicans an option and keep multiple candidates from "tearing each other up in the primary." Koenig announced for commission seat three which is currently held by Carl Erquiaga who has served the community for 11 years and will reach his 12-year term limit at the end of 2020. Kelli Kelly, a local democrat, announced her intention to run for commission district three in March this year, kick starting the 2020 election more than a year and a half out. The election will be held November 10, 2020.
