The Coffey County Board of Commissioners approved a one-year renewal of a lobbying agreement with Timothy E. Johnson to represent the county in Topeka and other state matters in 2025. The contract covers Jan. 1 through Dec. 31, 2025, at $1,500 per month.
Johnson summarized his recent travel and outreach on behalf of the county, noting more than 5,200 miles traveled and meetings at the Kansas Association events. Commissioners praised his work and debated the contract's value; one commissioner said he would not support renewal while others described Johnson as "the bird dog for our county" and voiced support. The motion to approve the contract was moved and seconded and carried with aye votes recorded.
Johnson thanked the board and said he would remain available for county needs in 2025.
