Moyer spoke with Swick Broadcasting and says he has lived in Sturgis for 26 years and has been involved with many committees. He was asked to run a couple of years ago but the timing wasn’t right. He says now he can serves and looks forward to being on the Commission.

Boring will represent Precinct 2 for a partial term. He ran unopposed and received 388 votes. Boring says he has owned several businesses and wants to use his background and experience to help Sturgis keep growing.
