Saline County’s Chief Deputy Tax Collector, Jennifer Carter, announced she is running for Collector. A series of events has left this position open. In 2020, longtime Collector Joy Ballard retired. The Saline County Quorum Court appointed Holly Sanders to fill the term, but an appointee is ineligible to run for that office in a successive term, and Sanders announced her campaign for County Treasurer, after Larry Davis announced he won’t run again. Jennifer Carter released the following statement to launch her campaign:
