Dick Works won’t seek re-election to the District 1 seat on the Allen County Commission. Works announced his intention during a legislative forum in Iola Saturday.
He first was elected in 1990 and has served since. The district contains Humboldt, Moran, Elsmore, Savonburg and nearby townships. The filing deadline is June 1.
Commissioners earn $18,678 year, and have the option to participate in the county’s health insurance and the Kansas Public Employees Retirement System (KPERS).
