‘We all love Sheila,’ Brown says, but doesn’t want to pass up chance to run for a seat she’s held since 1982. Plus: Prosecutor Pat Harrington withdraws, county clerk Julie Roush files commissioner bid
I'd like for every local and state Republican candidate to be asked about their support for Donald Trump and the practices of ICE and on redistricting. While generally we shouldn't nationalize local elections, Trumpism tells us a lot about what politicians think, none of it good. If a candidate is a Trumpist then it's likely they will support authoritarian uses of local and state police, immunity from consequences for police who engage in violence and abuse, cooperation with ICE, etc. As we're seeing in other states, local police and state National Guard units may have to serve to protect local residents from federal violence. So no matter how well-liked a local candidate like Brown might be on local issues, we're going to need to ask him and others tough questions about what they'll do when violent ICE patrols come to Indiana and when they come to Tippecanoe County.
Those positions file at the Secretary of State's office at the Statehouse. The filings were up at the election commission's list Thursday evening. Watching the two sync up over the past month, there's often a lag between each one catching up with the other.

I would also accept an endorsement by Mitch Daniels.
I wonder why Biss and Brown are not listed on the official candidate list published on the Election Board website?

Thanks Dave for that information!
Yeah, no.

We live in interesting times. Who will file before noon tomorrow?
