Knight outlined his reasons for running and his qualifications in entries on his campaign Facebook page.
I am extremely concerned and distressed about the extreme wastefulness that our commissioners have spent on lawsuits past and present. There has been an astronomical amount of money spent on legal fees due to internal conflicts within the county and not honoring an agreement with the City of Neosho.We owe it to the people of Newton County to work together as a team with cooperation and communication. We need to rebuild the trust in our local county officials.
I have had many years of running a business and owning a business. I have had many years of working with large numbers of employees with extremely successful results.
I want the county to work harmoniously with administration and employees. I am not a politician, I am a manager and a concerned citizen. I can help the county if given the chance. I am asking for your vote.

Anyone has to be better than the two ccurrent commissioners. Cook and Osborn always vote together and it always costs the taxpayers. Now Osborn's son is running for county treasurer so they can hide even more misdeeds
Mark Knight would make a great County Commissioner. He is honest, strong and when he believes in something he will get things done. I have known him for years and he is a public servant and a successful Business man. He will certainly have my vote!!
It really looks like they spent funds to find a $350,000 check screw-up, written solely by the county treasurer, which was a statute violation. Knight can join his buddy, the new Auditor, and his father, and they can protect his statute violations. Sometimes, it costs money to expose corruption.
837 By the looks for some of the sons postings, he's shining a light on the current treasurers misdeeds.
