Elizabeth Cree Reappointed as Commissioner of Elections

Republican Elections Commissioner Elizabeth Cree was appointed to a new two-year term, commencing January 1, 2020 and expiring December 31, 2021.  Chair Martha Robertson said that she understands that that the certificate for the appointment was not filed by the December 1 deadline, and that in such a case State law defines that the Republican members of the Legislature may vote on the appointment of the Republican Commissioner for a two-year term.  Robertson ruled the certificate not timely filed and put the matter to a vote.
Cree’s appointment was approved by a vote of 3-0, Legislators Mike Sigler, Dave McKenna, and Glenn Morey all voting in favor.
