Commissioners from five southwest Washington counties have appointed Dean Takko, a House member for more than a decade, to the state Senate. The Daily News in Longview reports that the commissioners then picked JD Rosetti, a member of the Longview School Board, to replace Takko in the House of Representatives.

The changes were set in motion when Sen. Brian Hatfield resigned to take a job in the governor's office leading rural development efforts.
