Kara Reynolds is currently the executive director of Coffey County Transportation.
Reynolds was among four finalists interviewed by the 4th District Nominating Commission earlier this week, including CrossWinds Counseling and Wellness case manager Kraig Kirchner, retired parole officer Rose Rice and Allen County Attorney’s Office legal assistant Cara Bowen.
Kansas lawmakers created the post and a host of other judicial positions across the state earlier this year.
