Pulaski County Commissioner Bud Krohn Jr. has resigned. In a letter filed Wednesday with the Pulaski County Clerk’s Office, Krohn said that due to health issues, he feels he is “unable to give the full effort required to effectively serve as Commissioner.” Krohn has been absent from the commissioners’ meetings since February.
Clerk Christi Hoffa says she has notified Republican Party Chair Dan Murphy of the vacancy. It will be up to him to schedule a caucus within the next 30 days to choose a replacement. Interested candidates should file paperwork with the party chair and the county clerk.
In his resignation letter, Krohn also said “it has been an honor and privilege to serve the citizens of Pulaski County as Commissioner for the last three years.” Krohn represented District 3, which includes Harrison, Indian Creek, Monroe, and Van Buren Townships.
