83rd District caucus to be held in 'Busco on June 28
By Jennifer Zartman Romano
State Representative Matt Bell's decision not to run for re-election in November means yet another couple of crazy weeks for Republican precinct committee members in the area, leading up to a caucus later this month.
The 83rd District caucus has been sent for Monday, June 28, at Churubusco High School. The caucus will begin at 7 p.m.
Thus far, three candidates have publicly voiced an interest in the seat, including Kathy Heuer of Whitley County, Brandon Seifert and Phil Troyer, of Fort Wayne.
Additional candidates interested in the Republican spot on the ballot will need to file their paperwork at least 27 hours prior to the caucus to be considered. Paperwork will need to be filed with the Indiana Republican State Committee, who will oversee the caucus, and also the Election Division of the Indiana Secretary of State's office.
Bell will continue his term through the end of the year, but chose not to run again due to his new position as the executive director of the Regional Chamber of Northeast Indiana.
The 83rd District includes about 1/3 of Whitley County in addition to portions of Noble and Allen Counties.
