GOP slates nominee session

Whitman County Republican Central Committee has scheduled a meeting for Feb. 10 to select nominees for appointment to the county coroner's position. Chairman John Brabb said the session will begin at 9 a.m. in the auditorium of the Public Service Building in Colfax.

The Republicans have been asked by the county commissioners to submit the names of three nominees to fill the office which is being vacated by Pete Martin, who announced Monday he plans to retire March 1.

Martin is a Republican, so the appointment process calls for the Republican party to submit the names of three nominees to fill the position.

Brabb said Whitman County residents interested in being considered for the position can send a letter of intent along with a résumé to the Whitman County Central Committee, Box 203, Pullman, 99163, or by email: whitmancogop@ gmail.com

The county commissioners are required to fill the vacancy within 60 days.

The coroner's office will be among county positions on the ballot this year. Filing for the coroner's position and other county offices will open in June in advance of the primary election.
