Pettis County voters interested in a third-party candidate in the November Eastern Commissioner race have an option following Friday’s candidate filing by insurance agent Gregg Foster.
Foster, who sells health and life insurance through his business, Connecting Solutions, has lived in Pettis County since 1967 and is a 1968 graduate of Smith Cotton High School. Foster delivered candidate paperwork to Pettis County Clerk Nick La Strada on Friday.
