Gov. Charlie Crist appointed former Lee County Commissioner John E. Manning of Cape Coral to the Lee County Commission late Wednesday.
The appointment comes after a lengthy review of nearly 30 candidates seeking the post. Manning, 60-year-old Republican, fills the vacancy created by the death of Commissioner Bob Janes in March.
In a press release, Crist says, “As a long-time resident of Lee County with 18 years of public-service experience, John is ready to step onto the county commission and begin working immediately. I am confident he is committed to ensuring Lee County continues to be a great community for families and businesses.”
Since 2000, Manning has been a consultant with the Fort Myers office of Malcolm Pirnie. Previously, he was a corporate benefit consultant for 28 years with both public and private sector clients.
Manning served as a Lee County commissioner from 1988 to 2000 and was a city council member for Cape Coral from 1982 to 1986. He holds a bachelor's degree from Northeastern University in Boston.
