The town of Sandborn has a new Town Council Member.

Earlier this month the Knox County Republican Party announced that former board member Ed McKim had resigned leaving a vacancy.

A caucus was scheduled to determine a successor and county clerk David Shelton asked for interested persons to submit a letter of interest.

Only one person sent a letter so the party has named Jeremy Daugherty as the new member.

He will fill out McKim’s term which lasts for the next three years.
