The Porter County Democratic Central Committee proudly announces its
officers elected on Saturday, March 2.
Chairman Jeffrey Chidester was re-elected without opposition to another
four-year term as chair to lead the County Democrats. He was joined by Kathy
Kozuszek, vice-chair, and Debbie Kerr-Cook, secretary, both unopposed.
The Central Committee welcomed a new party treasurer, Chris Stidham,
Clerk-Treasurer of the City of Portage. He replaces Clay Patton, who chose
not to run for re-election after serving five years.
“The Party was well served by Clay Patton’s many attributes. He will be
missed but we all feel that newly elected Treasurer Chris Stidham is more
than up to the task and brings a wealth of knowledge to the Democratic
Team,” Chairman Chidester said.
“Over the past four years, the Porter County Democratic Central Committee
has led a party with a distinguished track record of public service.
Democrat elected officials in County government continue to fight to invest
the sale of the hospital proceeds into Porter County’s future. All over the
County, Democrats are fighting against waste and excess to protect
taxpayers,” Chidester said. “Looking to the next four years, Porter County
Democrats remain committed to electing Democrats to offices county-wide to
provide better service to constituents.
Chidester said, “The Porter County Democrats are committed to serving all
Porter County residents and providing quality candidates who are not only
qualified but eager to serve the people of our county!”
