State Sen. Brian Nieves may be quitting Jefferson City, but he’s not quitting politics.
Nieves, R-Washington, filed Monday for Franklin County recorder of deeds. He’s among four Republicans and one Democrat seeking to succeed incumbent Sharon Birkman, who is not seeking re-election. The Republicans will compete in the August primary.
The post pays $67,215 a year.
En route to Jefferson City, Nieves confirmed via text that he had filed for the job. He said he would have additional comments later.
