The field of candidates is set for next year’s elections in Wabash County and the Primary ballot in March will feature a crowded field for the Republican nomination for county commissioner. A total of five candidates will vie for that spot that will move into the November election uncontested. The latest to join the race is Jaleigh Peterson who filed to run on yesterday’s last day to file. Others in that race had previously filed and include Mary Sweppy, Missy Judge, David S. Brown, and Jayden Pettyjohn. No democrat filed to run for the commissioner currently held by Scott West who announced he would not seek another term.
Long time County Clerk Janet Will filed to run for re-election yesterday. She’ll face a challenge from Sean Morgan who filed last week as a Republican.
Treasurer Angela Broster and Sheriff J. Derek Morgan have both filed for re-election and will be unopposed next year.
The primary election is March 17th and the general election is next November 3rd.
