Woody Ziegler selected to fill York County District 2 commissioner vacancy

A panel announced that Woody Ziegler will fill the District 2 vacancy on the York County Board of Commissioners after interviewing four applicants for the seat.

The announcement came after an interview session in which candidates described local experience and priorities. The panel stated, "According to the votes, the next Commissioner for District two will be Woody Ziegler." The transcript does not record who moved or seconded the selection, the vote tally or an effective date for Ziegler's appointment.

Applicants who spoke during the session emphasized similar priorities. Miss Dry, who described herself as having run payroll and workers' compensation for a nursing home, stressed collaboration and availability, saying, "I'll put in the time. I'll put in the effort." Rick Pfeiffer, a long-time resident and circulation manager at the York News-Times, described community involvement and said he would be "honored to serve the constituents of the Second District." Craig Rome identified taxes and roads as top concerns and said he wanted "equal representation for everybody." Kent Norquist, a former Natural Resources Conservation Service employee, stressed roads, staff training and retention and broadband access, saying, "Roads make a difference. For all citizens."

The transcript indicates the candidates discussed budgets, committee assignments and county services during their interviews, but it contains no formal motion text, vote record, or the date when Ziegler would take office. The appointment appears to be the panel's final action in the session; additional procedural details were not provided in the record.
