County Attorney of Cherokee County: Bingham vs Coleman

Updated:

Without an incumbent, Cherokee County, Kansas voters will be deciding between attorneys Melanie Bingham and Nathan Coleman.

Bingham ran unopposed in the Democratic Party while Coleman won among Republicans.

Both candidates say they see a huge drug problem in the county which is something they hope to change.

"We have many big issues in this county, but one I'm mainly concerned with is our problem with meth, we're not alone in that, there are many counties around us that have the trouble as well," says Bingham.

"Being a border county, we have a large problem with the methamphetamine manufacturing, and that goes for Southeast Kansas, Southwest Missouri and Northeast Oklahoma," says Coleman.
