FORT WAYNE, Ind. (WOWO): A former candidate for City Council is now City Clerk… for now.

Sunday, Allen County Democratic Party precinct committee members selected Michelle Chambers to serve in the interim until Republican City Clerk-elect Lana Keesling takes office in January.  Chambers was defeated last week in her bid for city-council at large.

In October City Clerk Sandra Kennedy stepped down citing health concerns, amidst allegations she used her office to support campaign efforts for her deputy clerk Angie Davis. Davis also resigned days before the election.
