(KNZA)--A new Brown County Clerk has been sworn in to office.
District Judge John Weingart administered the oath of office to Nicole Lee at the beginning of the Brown County Commission meeting Monday.
Lee was selected August 4 by the Brown County Republican Precinct Committee from among two candidates to fill the the unexpired term of former County Clerk Dawn Boyles, who resigned effective July 17.
Governor Laura Kelly then approved the appointment of Lee, who previously served as payroll clerk in the County Clerk's Office.
Barb Grabhorn has been serving as interim county clerk since the resignation of Boyles.
Lee will serve a term expiring in January 2025. The position is up for election in November 2024.
