Eslinger prepares to represent Stone and Taney counties

Stone and Taney Counties will start out the new legislative session in Jefferson City with someone new looking out for the county’s residents.

State Senator Karla Eslinger replaces State Senator Mike Moon as the region’s senator. Eslinger previously represented Douglas, Howell, Oregon, Ozark, Ripley, Texas, Webster, and Wright Counties; she will now add Taney and Stone counties while losing Webster, Wright, Oregon and Ripley counties.

Eslinger is no stranger to the region: a Gainesville High School graduate, she attended College of the Ozarks to obtain a bachelor’s degree in elementary education and currently sits on the C of O board.
