Fulton County has a new commissioner.

A Republican caucus was held Tuesday to fill the vacancy left by the departure of Commissioner Steve Metzger.  Commissioner Metzger stated that due to his growing business and busy family life he is finding it hard to devote the time he would like to the elected position.  His last meeting was February 21.

Chosen from among four candidates last evening was Dave Sommers of Kewanna.  Sommers serves as pastor at Fletchers Lake and Grass Creek United Methodict churches as well as District Sales Manager at Stine Seed Company.

Sommers has also worked with Caston schools and is a former cross country coach, now assistant cross country coach at Caston.
