Ind. Courts - "Four lawyers seeking two Clark judicial seats"
Larry Thomas reports today in the Clark/Floyd County News & Tribune in a story that begins:
Four candidates already have announced they will seek the judgeships in a pair of Clark County courts where judges are retiring at the end of next year.Judge Cecile Blau had already started campaigning for a third six-year term in Clark Superior Court 2 when she surprised supporters in October by announcing that she was withdrawing her candidacy and would retire at the end of next year.
Clark Superior Court 3 Judge Steve Fleece, who has served on the bench since 1985, announced several years ago that he would not seek another term.
The old Clark County Court was created in 1976 and Fleece and Sam Gwin were the only judges to preside there. In 1995, the Indiana General Assembly elevated County Court to Superior Court 3.
Senior Judge Jerry Jacobi and attorneys Andrew Adams and Dan Moore all have announced that they are running for the seat Blau will vacate in Superior Court 2. Clarksville Town Court Judge Joe Weber is the only candidate to announce his intention to run for the seat Fleece is leaving.
The filing period for candidates begins Jan. 23 and concludes at noon Feb. 22.
Both retiring judges and all four candidates are Democrats.
