“Miami County is fortunate to have someone with the experience, service to the community and willingness to work hard to fill this position of Clerk of Courts,” said Anthony Kendell, executive chairman of the county Republican Central Committee.

No other candidate filed for the position, Kendell said Wednesday evening. Peeples was appointed the interim clerk by the county commissioners following Mottinger’s death.

He also is owner/operator of a family farm, is a member of the Bradford Fire and Rescue and has coached youth sports in Bradford. He is a member of the Republican Central Committee and the county Republican Men’s Club.
