(KNZA)--Holton City Commmissioner Dan Brenner has filed as an independent candidate for a Jackson County Commission seat.
Brenner announced in a news release that he filed by petition Monday. Needing 117 register voter's names, he presented a petition to the Jackson County Clerk's Office containing more than 300 signatures.
In filing as an independent, Brenner cited his belief that county, city and school board positions should not be politicized.
Brenner is seeking the position of 2nd District Jackson County Commissioner. The position is currently held by Janet Zwonitzer, who is seeking re-election.
