Fulton County Commissioner Steve Metzger has stepped down from his role as a county commissioner.  Monday, February 21, was his last meeting.

Commissioner Metzger states that due to his growing business and busy family life he is finding it hard to devote the time he would like to the Commissioners position.

Fulton County Commissioner President Bryan Lewis says Metzger puts in countless hours serving the citizens of Fulton County and that it has been a pleasure serving with Commissioner Metzger. Lewis also says they wish him all the best with all his future endeavors.

After the Fulton County Clerk receives Commissioner Metzger’s letter of resignation the Republican Party has 30 days to set a caucus date.

If anyone is interested they have up to 72 hours before the caucus date to file paper work with the Fulton County Clerk.

On the day of the caucus all Republican Precinct Chairs meet and vote in a replacement to fill out the term of the vacant seat.
