11/02/2021

(KAIR)--No changes on the Atchison City Commission, with voters Tuesday re-electing three from a pool of six candidates, vying to fill three open seats.

Dr. Allen Reavis, Jesse Greenly, and Lisa Moody all retained their positions, with Reavis earning 886 votes, Greenly 851, and Moody 778. Reavis and Moody are incumbents, while Greenly was appointed to fill an unexpired term last year.

Their wins knocked out challengers William Murphy, Michael White, and David Deware.

Only minor changes for the Board of Education for Atchison's Public Schools of USD 409, with voters casting their ballots in favor of three incumbents, and one newcomer, to hold four-year terms.

Carrie Sowers, Diane Liebsch, and Sean Crittendon were joined by Deborah Eplee in earning the At-Large positions.

Brandi Ross earned voter approval to continue serving for two-years in the unexpired term she was appointed to fill last year. She retained that position on a vote of 1,218

Sowers took 1,198 votes, followed by Liebsch with 1,103, Eplee with 999, and Crittendon with 794. The four defeated challengers Chuck Tilton and Allison Marschean.

In the race for the Board of Education for the Atchison County Community Schools of USD 377, only one of the three openings was contested, with incumbent Corey Neil winning re-election to position five, defeating challenger Trenton Beagle 226 to 207.

In the City of Lancaster, Matthew Wilburn earned 21 votes in the race for the Mayoral seat, despite no one having officially filed for the position by the June deadline. The seat had been occupied for many years by the late Tim Callahan who, prior to his unexpected death, chose not to seek re-election.

All election outcomes remain unofficial until canvassed by the Atchison County Commission.
