The 21st Judicial District Nominating Commission has selected a new district magistrate judge in Clay and Riley County.
John McNish, a private practice attorney from Marysville, will replace the late Judge Bill Malcolm who passed away on Oct. 15, 2023. McNish beat out Daniel Brenner of Holton and Audrey Waid (Wa-de) of Clay Center for the position.
McNish currently works for his own firm Bolton & McNish LLC in Marysville. He has been a licensed attorney for 42 years.
He will serve one year in office and then stand for a retention vote in the next general election to remain in the position. If retained, McNish will then serve a four-year term beginning in 2025. His current term starts effective immediately upon his swearing-in.
