MANY LOCAL RACES UNCONTESTED AS FILING DEADLINE PASSES

(Wayne County, IN)--The deadline for filing for local and regional political offices came and went on Friday with one local businessman throwing his hat into the ring with a late filing.  Peter Zaleski joined Randy Retter and Adam Blanton as a Republican candidate for State Representative of District 56.  The passing of the deadline with no challenges in some races effectively means that some offices have already been set, including Amy Chenowith as Wayne County Auditor, Ashley Green as Prosecutor, and Tim Smith as County Assessor.  No Democrats filed for those seats or several others on the primary ballot.
