LINCOLN COUNTY – The Lincoln County Board of Supervisors is accepting applications to fill a vacant seat.

The vacancy was created by the resignation of former District 13 Supervisor Calvin Callahan.

Applications to fill the vacancy will be accepted until 12 p.m. on Friday, Nov. 3. If needed, interviews will be given to selected candidates at the Lincoln County Service Center in Merrill on Tuesday, Nov. 7.

The board will approve the appointment to fill the vacancy during its meeting on Tuesday, Nov. 14.

The appointed candidate will serve the remainder of Callahan’s term, which ends on April 15, 2024.

Individuals residing in the district can send letters of interest and personal qualifications to Lincoln County Clerk Christopher Marlowe at the Lincoln County Clerk’s Office, 801 N. Sales St., Suite 201, Merrill, Wis., 54452; or chris.marlowe@co.lincoln.wi.us.
