Yellowstone commissioners appoint Denise Joy to House District 46 vacancy
Summary
After interviewing three candidates, the Board of County Commissioners appointed Denise Joy to fill the House District 46 vacancy. One commissioner asked for more names but the motion carried by voice vote.
The Yellowstone County Board of County Commissioners voted Dec. 17 to appoint Denise Joy to fill a vacancy for House District 46.
The board had interviewed three candidates earlier in the week — Mark Nicholson, Ross, and Denise Joy — and Speaker 3 moved to appoint Joy. Commissioner Jones opposed the motion on the record and said she would have preferred the board seek three additional names before appointing a candidate. The motion was seconded, commissioners voted by voice and the board appointed Denise Joy.
The appointment closes the county-level selection process; the appointee will represent the county in the state House for the remainder of the term or until state procedures require a successor. The board did not record a roll-call vote or provide a detailed tally in the public transcript.
