(KAIR)--A sitting Atchison City Commissioner is selected to serve the 1st District of Atchison County as a member of the Atchison County Commission.
Republican Dr. Allen Reavis, during Tuesday- general election, defeated Democratic challenger Tom Lykins, according to the unofficial tally of the votes.
Reavis, a longtime Atchison dentist, has also served as the City- Mayor during his years of service on the Atchison City Commission.
He will fill the 1st District Atchison County Commission seat held by his fellow Republican Jack Bower who chose not to seek reelection.
In Jefferson County, it appears the 1st District will have new representation, with the incumbent trailing his opponent as of early Wednesday morning.
