The Fairfield County Republican Central Committee on Wednesday chose James Bahnsen to replace Brian Kuhn as county treasurer.<br /><br />Kuhn resigned last month to become the city's service-safety director. David O. Jones has served as the interim treasurer in the meantime.<br /><br />"I'm just humbled and I'm honored," said Bahnsen, 65. "I'm excited that the party has chosen me to fill the vacant seat of Brian Kuhn. Once the paperwork is done in Columbus, I'm ready to roll up my sleeves and get to work."
