The Isabella County Commissioner, District 5, will once again stay in the hands of a democrat, but not Ron Roby.
With a 62% lead at 11:30 p.m. on Nov. 4, James Mareno is the new Isabella County Commissioner for district 5.
Roby lost in the democratic primary with only 43.8% and Mareno won with 55.8% of the vote.
This was seen to be the end of Toby's 6 year run as commissioner, but it wasn't.
Roby still registered as a write-in candidate for the 2008 elections. With only 5% of the vote going to write-in candidates, it is safe to presume that Roby's time on the board of commissioners has come to an end.
The new Commissioner Moreno, 60, is currently a student at Mid Michigan Community College in pursuit of a degree in Computer Information Systems.
This will be Moreno's second degree. His first is from CMU in Health Promotion.
Mareno's experience that makes him qualified for this position is his six years served on the Mt. Pleasant City Commission.
Some of the key projects he worked on is moving and selling City Hall.
