Four Apply for Vacant District 1 Orange County Commissioner Seat
With just two weeks until it has a vacant seat, the Board of Orange County Commissioners now has a finalized pool of applicants to choose a community member to fill it.
As the application period closed on Monday night, the Orange County government said four people submitted their candidacy to fill the District 1 seat of Commissioner Mark Dorosin. Penny Rich, Rani Dasi, Anna Richards and Marilyn Carter all submitted applications for the vacant seat.
Rich, who served on the county commissioners for eight years, lost re-election in 2020 while serving as chair of the board. Commissioner Jean Hamilton earned one of the available District 1 seats in the election, while Dorosin beat Rich by just seven votes. Rich’s professional career is as a small business owner and she previously earned election to the Chapel Hill Town Council prior to being elected as a county commissioner.
