Let the 2010 primary election season begin.
The filing period closed today at noon for the May 4 primary, with a flurry
of candidates filing in the final hours.
Both parties in Porter County still have vacancies for the November general
election that can be filled by the respective party chairs prior to the June
30 deadline.
The following is the list of candidates who filed by today’s noon deadline
in the Voter Registration Office for county and township races. The list
also includes the candidates who filed with the Indiana Secretary of State’s
for federal and state offices and for county judges and prosecutors. The
state’s list might not be complete; a follow-up report will appear in the
Chesterton Tribune Monday if an updated state list includes candidates
in Porter County.
An “inc.” after a candidate’s name signifies the incumbent.
