SEBRING - Zane Thomas, who works in the Highlands County planning department, has filed to run for county commissioner.
As an independent, Thomas automatically goes into the November general election for the county commission seat held by Guy Maxcy.
Maxcy, a Republican, is running for his fifth consecutive four-year term.
Thomas unsuccessfully ran two years ago as a Democrat for the state representative's seat held by Denise Grimsley, R-Lake Placid.
Zane is classified as a "planner 1" in the county planning department.
Maxcy may face a challenge in the Republican primary and/or from a Democrat, depending on whether more candidates file for the race.
The deadline for candidates to file for county offices is Friday.
