(KAIR)--An Atchison City Commissioner decides to seek election to the Atchison County Commission.
Charlie Perdue filed for election to the 1st District County Commission seat in advance of Friday's noon filing deadline.
Atchison County Clerk Michelle Phillips tells MSC News Perdue filed by petition, which has been verified by her office.
Perdue was elected to the Atchison City Commission in April 2015.
The term expires January 14, 2020.
Perdue, a Democrat, is challenged in the County Commission race by one-time fellow City Commissioner, Jack Bower.
Bower, a Republican, was chosen to fill the 1st District County Commission seat during a Republican Party District Convention in April 2017.
He was selected to serve out the unexpired term of Jeff Schuele who resigned from the role.
The term runs through January 2019.
Bower filed by petition to seek election to the position in April.
Voters will go to the polls August 7 for the primary election, followed by the general election November 6.
Along with the commission position, all Atchison County township clerk positions are up for election.
