The Franklin County Board of Supervisors appointed Bonnie Law on Sept. 11 to fill the vacant Boone District seat, the board announced after returning from a closed session.
Chair Sherry Smith told the room that the board "unanimously has chosen Miss Bonnie Law," and thanked all applicants for stepping forward. The motion to appoint Law was made and seconded on the floor and approved in a roll-call vote with all members recorded in favor.
Smith said the appointment is interim and will continue "until special election in November 2027." She said a press release announcing the board's decision would be issued soon and that Law is scheduled to be sworn in prior to the board's regular meeting on Tuesday, Sept. 15 at 2:30 p.m.
The board did not debate alternate candidates on the public record during the open session; the nomination and vote followed the board's closed-session discussion of the vacancy. The action returns a full complement of supervisors to Franklin County's governing body ahead of the November 2027 special election.
