Longtime Christian County Clerk Mike Kem is bidding farewell to the office, as a retirement reception was held in his honor Wednesday afternoon.
Kem has served as County Clerk for 24 years, and that followed years of service to Christian County as a Fiscal Court magistrate—he says he’s seen a lot of change in his time in public service, and had a hand in some of it.
On the elections side of the position, he says his office as has done well by the public, and the Clerk’s Office is responsible for a vast numbers of services that are vital.
While he is relieved to be retiring, he says there a lot of good people that call Christian County home and he thanks them for their years of support and patience.
Kem says he’s not sure what the future holds for him, but he does know it will include a good amount of relaxing, with plenty of things that need to be done around the house to keep him busy.
