WTHR is reporting the following people are interested in filing to run for the seat left vacant by the death of Julia Carson; Andre Carson (D), John Elrod (R), Wayne Harmon (unknown), Carl Drummer (D), Carolene Mays (D), Greg Porter (D).
In another story, WTHR has released a Q&A from Indiana Secretary of State Todd Rokita concerning special elections that is very informative. Carson’s successor will be elected via a special election that will be called by Governor Mitch Daniels.
Hat tip to Advance Indiana who reports the Republican National Committee will not help with funds for Republicans who seek Carson’s seat due to the high probability it will go to a Democrat.
The Evansville Courier & Press discusses Carson’s interest in a local project, “Lyles Station was founded in the 1840s by freed slaves. It later became a stopover for runaway slaves on the Underground Railroad.
Back at Advance Indiana, it appears the scuttlebutt is a “dark horse” candidate may be endorsed by the Democrats to stop warring factions in the party. The name being floated is Randle Pollard, who works for Ice Miller.
