The Nez Perce County Republican Central Committee holds a meeting Thursday to interview and nominate candidates to fill the county commission seat left vacant by Bob Tippett’s retirement.

Tippett recently announced he was stepping down due to health issues. His replacement will serve the remainder of his term, which ends in January, while Republican Don Beck and Democrat Bob Blakey are running for the seat.

All Republicans interested in interviewing to fill the vacancy or learning more about the process are invited to Thursday’s meeting at 6 PM at 1712 Idaho Street in Lewiston.

The committee will forward three candidates to Idaho Governor Butch Otter for the final appointment. (Lewiston Tribune)
