The Republican County chairmen of the 45th Senate district will vote tomorrow on who will replace retiring state Sen. Todd Sieben.
Lee County GOP chairman Gregory Witzleb said Republican Tim Bivins is the only candidate whose name has come up.
“I have not heard of anybody else,” Witzleb said. “As it appears now, Tim is the only candidate.”
Bivins won the Republican primary for the seat on Feb. 5. Sieben, R-Geneseo, has said allowing Bivins to be appointed to his seat will give him a substantial advantage over Democratic opponent Marty Mulcahey.
Witzleb said after the vote, the person elected president and secretary of the group will hand-deliver the results to the State Board of Elections, the Secretary of the Senate and the Secretary of State.
We will have more details later on what happens after the appointee’s name is given to the state.
