Potential candidates who haven’t yet decided if they’ll run for office this year need to decide soon: The deadline to file for the May 4 primary is at noon Friday.

Some races have become even more crowded. Republicans now have seven candidates for the 1st District U.S. House seat held by Democrat Pete Visclosky, who also has a primary challenger.

The following is the up-to-date list, as of this morning, of the candidates who filed either in the Voter Registration Office for county and township races or with the Indiana Secretary of State for federal or state offices. An “inc.” after a candidate’s name signifies the incumbent. The Tribune will run the list again on Friday.
