(KNZA)--Longtime 62nd District State Representative Randy Garber has announced he will not be running for re-election and will be stepping aside at the end of the year.
The Sabetha Republican made the announcement in his May Kansas Legislative Newsletter recently sent to district constituents.
Garber, who has served in the Kansas House since 2011, said it has truly been an honor to serve the citizens of the 62nd District for the past 14 years and some of the most memorable of life. He thanked his partners in the Kansas Legislature, his wife, Kay, and the citizens in the 62nd House District.
" As your voice in Topeka, I tried my best to meet the challenges and to do what i thought the majority of constituents would want me to do to fulfill my commitment to the 62nd House District", said Garber.
"Thanks to the commitment of so many Republicans, i believe we accomplished many of the goals i set when i began the journey as your Representative. It is time for me to step aside."
Garber had filed to run for re-election last year, but recently withdrew as a candidate.
Three other Republicans have filed to run for Garber's seat, seeking the approval of their party in the August 6 primary election in order to advance to the November 5 general election ballot. They are Dylan Keim, of Seneca, who currently serves as 3rd District Nemaha County Commissioner, Sean Willcott, of Holton, and Dorothy Goodman of Sabetha.
The 62nd District includes Brown and Nemaha Counties, along with a portion of Jackson County.
