Brown County appoints Dan Griffith to fill Constable Precinct 1 vacancy
Summary
The commission appointed Dan Griffith to fill the unexpired term of the Constable for Precinct 1 after Robert Mullins vacated the seat; the appointment lasts until the next general election referenced as 'November of 26.'
The Brown County Commission voted to appoint Dan Griffith to serve as Constable for Precinct 1 to fill the unexpired term left by Robert Mullins.
Commissioners said Mullins chose not to run for re-election and that no other candidates filed for the position, creating the vacancy. The appointment was moved, seconded and approved by voice vote.
Why it matters: The constable position enforces certain local court and law-enforcement processes; filling the vacancy restores the county’s ability to perform those duties for Precinct 1 until the next general election, which the meeting record identified as "November of 26."
Commissioners briefly reflected on Mullins’s service before taking the vote. The appointment was presented as an interim filling of the unexpired term; the motion did not specify additional conditions or salary adjustments.
The vote was recorded as a voice vote with the motion carried. The commission moved on to other business after the appointment.
