Bates County Commission
Every member of the Bates County Commission, as the Missouri Secretary of State's Missouri Roster prints them.
The Bates County Commission is Bates County's governing body. Of its 3 members, 1 is elected by the whole county and 2 from districts. This page lists every seat and who holds it as the Missouri Secretary of State's Missouri Roster prints them, and the map's County card reads the same list.

districtry is an independent, unofficial civic reference. It never guesses at who holds a seat: every name above is printed in the Missouri Secretary of State's Missouri Roster or on the county's own website, and where neither names anyone this page says so rather than filling the gap.
