JAMESTOWN, N.D. (NewsDakota.com) – On Tuesday, September 19, the Stutsman County Commission made a unanimous 4-0 decision to appoint Levi Taylor as a new member of the board.

Several other candidates, including Amanda Hastings, Jessica Moser, Benjamin Tompkins, Mathew Woods, Brock Mosolf, Steven Gerszewski, Adam Wieland, Michael Hansen, George Barnes, and Chris Aarhus, applied for the position.

The next general election cycle is set for 2024.
