AND IN THIS CORNER
There’s been a lot of speculation about who will run for the 7th Congressional District when a special election is called to replace incumbent Julia Carson who has been diagnosed with termnial lung cancer.
I’ve written about possible Democratic contenders and after doing some checking, here’s my list of possible Republican contenders.
Former U.S. Attorney Susan Brooks, FSSA Director Mitch Roob, former Indianapolis Public Safety Director Bob Turner, State Senators Jim Merritt and Theresa Lubbers, State GOP Chairman Murray Clark, former City-County Council Candidate Bruce Henry, Christamore House Director Olgin Williams, outgoing Couty-County Council Member Ike Randolph, incoming At-Large City-County Council member Kent Smith, Marion County Prosecutor Carl Brizzi, Indiana Insurance Commissioner Jim Atterholt. State Representative Jon Elrod has already declared.
On the Democratic side the contenders are still Marion County Treasurer Mike Rodman, State Representatives Greg Porter, David Orentlicher, outgoing Mayor Bart Peterson, Center Township Trustee Carl Drummer, City-County Council member Andre Carson and outgoing City-County Council Member Sherron Franklin.
Is there any particular match up you would like to see?
