WARSAW, Ind. (WOWO): A 17-year-old Warsaw Community High School student is planning to run for local political office.  

Evan J. McKinley, a junior at WCHS, will file this week to run for one of the three Kosciusko County Council at-large seats. McKinley will turn 18 prior to the general election, allowing him to run for office. 

For the last two years, McKinley has attended city and county council meetings, spoken at a school board meeting, served on campaign teams that successfully elected Curt Nisly as state representative and Torrey Bauer as Superior Court judge.
