Angela Flenar

KOSCIUSKO — Etna Green Resident Angela Flenar has filed a declaration of candidacy for the Etna Township trustee position.

She enjoys spending time with family and friends.

Eligible applicants for the trustee position must be a resident of Etna Township, Kosciusko County, a Republican in good standing and must not have a felony in their history.

Declarations of candidacy and statements of economic interests are available at the clerk’s office and must be notarized and filed with Kosciusko County Republican Central Committee Chairman Mike Ragan no later than 72 hours prior to the appointment, or by 2 p.m. Monday, July 8.
