RICHMOND MAY NOT NEED MAYORAL PRIMARY ELECTION

(Richmond, IN)--The deadline to file to run to be Richmond’s next mayor came and went last Friday, and now there’s a possibility that there won’t be any primary voting in May.  Incumbent Dave Snow is the only Democratic candidate.  There were three Republican candidates, but two of them – David Flannery and Sean O’Conner – are being challenged because they didn’t vote as Republicans in previous elections.  If they drop out or are removed, it would leave only Ron Oler.  The Wayne County Election Board will hear challenges to the Republican candidacies on February 13 if the two candidates don’t drop out before then.
