Kentucky Governor Matt Bevin on Thursday appointed Edward Wayne West as McLean County Judge/Executive.
West will serve until the position is filled in the November 2019 General Election. West says his top priorities include fighting for better paying jobs and a financially sound county government.
Mike Burden resigned in April citing personal reasons.
West is an Eastern Kentucky University alum with a degree in Police Administration. He has served as a correctional officer, highway safety coordinator and a field representative for Congressman Ed Whitfield. He also manages his family’s farm.
