A Republican caucus has chosen Dean Vonderheide as the new mayor of Jasper. He will fill the remaining year of the term of Terry Seitz, who announced earlier this month he accepted a senior staff position with U.S. Senator-elect Mike Braun.

Vonderheide, currently a member of the Jasper Common Council, will begin serving as mayor January 1.

He retired in April 2015 after a 32-year career with Kimball International Inc. (Nasdaq: KBAL). That month, he also founded White River Hops LLC, which provides craft beer makers with Indiana-grown hops.

Seitz has been Jasper’s mayor since 2012.
