A former state lawmaker will be sworn-in as Boone County’s presiding commissioner on Saturday morning.

Former State Rep. Kip Kendrick (D-Columbia), who served three terms in the Missouri House and served as the ranking Democrat on the House Budget Committee, will be sworn-in Saturday at 10 am at the Boone County Government Center downtown.

Mr. Kendrick defeated GOP businesswoman Connie Leipard by about 8,000 votes in November. Kendrick has told 939 the Eagle that he looks forward to serving as presiding commissioner, emphasizing the importance of listening, bipartisanship and cooperation on major projects like the I-70 Rocheport bridge.

Kendrick will replace retiring presiding commissioner Dan Atwill, who’s held that position since 2011. Atwill was appointed to the post that year, before being elected in 2012. Mr. Atwill was re-elected in 2014 and 2018.

The Democratic nominee for Boone County presiding commissioner describes Columbia Regional Airport’s (COU) $23-million new terminal as a game-changer for the region.

Former State Rep. Kip Kendrick (D-Columbia) tells 939 the Eagle that Columbia, Boone County, Jefferson City and mid-Missouri will all benefit.

“It is also the visitors that we’re going to get in, businesses we’re going to be able to recruit. The colleges will be able to compete better,” Kendrick says.

Kendrick says Mizzou, Columbia College, Stephens College and Moberly Area Community College will all benefit.

Mr. Kendrick also praises the partnerships that led to the new terminal’s completion.

“You know it wasn’t any one entity, it wasn’t any one municipality, it wasn’t any one county. It was the state, it was the federal government, it was local governments,” says Kendrick.

The first flight at COU’s new terminal is Wednesday.

Mr. Kendrick faces GOP nominee Connie Leipard in the November general election for Boone County presiding commissioner. The winner will replace outgoing presiding commissioner Dan Atwill, who decided against a re-election bid.
