The Anoka County Board has a new chairperson for 2023. Commissioner Matt Look was elected chairperson at the board’s organizational meeting Jan. 3, replacing Commissioner Scott Schulte, who had served in the position since late May 2019.

Link. Kevin McCarthy is envious. 

UPDATE: The Crabgrass headline runs together the first two paragraphs of the linked report. Look was elected 4-3 on a first and only ballot by the Board.

The linked report states:

The elections came after the board unanimously adopted a formal procedure for the nominations and elections recommended by new County Attorney Brad Johnson.

The procedure provides clarity, but does not change what the board had been doing for years, Schulte said.
