Primary filing period opens

Thursday, January 6, 2022

One day into the filing period for the 2022 primary election, a few candidates have formally expressed their intent to seek office.

In Putnam County, four different Republicans are already set to appear on the ballot:

• Sheriff: Steve Hibler,

• Assessor: Don Badolato,

• County Council District 3: Danny Wallace,

• Greencastle Township Trustee: Steve Butts.

Both Wallace and Butts are incumbents.

Voter Registration Clerk Stacia Hathaway said several more packets have been issued to other potential candidates.

In state filings of local interest, Jim Baird (R-Greencastle) is seeking another term in Indiana’s Fourth Congressional District, while Beau Baird (R-Greencastle) will seek an additional term in Indiana House District 44.

The filing deadline for Republicans and Democrats wishing to take part in the May 3 primary election is noon on Friday, Feb. 4.

Anyone with questions regarding candidate packets may call the Putnam County Voter Registration Office at 655-1538.
