WICHITA, Kan. (KSNW) – Kansas Senator Michael O’Donnell announced Tuesday he has filed for the Sedgwick County Commission District Two seat. The seat currently is held by Commissioner Tim Norton.

O’Donnell, a Republican, was elected to the Kansas Senate in 2013 after serving for two years on the Wichita City Council.

Norton, currently in his fourth term as Commissioner from District Two, was first elected to the commission in 2001.

O’Donnell said in a news release announcing his filing for the seat Norton was responsible for voting himself pay raises while in office.

“Now is the time for a new generation of leadership with fresh ideas and a renewed commitment to the conservative values that define this county and help to make families strong,” O’Donnell said.

The Sedgwick County Election Commissioner’s office website does not show whether Norton has filed for re-election.
