Two more names will appear on the DeKalb County General Election Ballot on Thursday, August 1.

During a caucus held Saturday, the DeKalb County Republican Party selected Andy Pack of District 6 and Mathias Anderson of District 7 as GOP nominees in the election to fill the remaining terms of former county commissioners who recently resigned.

If elected, Pack would serve out the remaining two years of former commissioner Justin Adcock’s unexpired term and Anderson would fill the vacancy created by the departure of commissioner Tim Reynolds. Both Adcock and Reynolds are Republicans and were elected in August 2022. Their terms expire August 31, 2026.

Last month, the county commission selected Pack to serve on the commission from the 6th district and are expected to name someone this month from the 7th district to fill the vacancies until the August election.

The county commission’s monthly meeting will be Monday, March 25 at 6:30 p.m. in the auditorium of the Mike Foster Multi-Purpose Center.
