2026 Primary Republican Candidates Forum

Hey Kokomo – we are about to have a VERY CONSEQUENTIAL Election. Primaries are so important because so few people bother to show up and vote on who will be on the ballot in November. With that in mind, these groups in this picture have been trying to put together an informational, educational forum for Republican Primary Candidates so that you can meet and ask questions of both the incumbents and the challengers. So far, we have invitations out to the following: State Rep. Heath VanNatter (Dist. 38 candidate -unconfirmed) and Mark Hufford (Dist. 38 candidate COMING); County Commissioner Jeff Lipinski (Dist. 1 unconfirmed) and Joe Russeau – Dist. 1 candidate COMING); Jordan Buckley (candidate for Sheriff, unconfirmed) and Harold Vincent (candidate for Sheriff COMING.) This meeting is strictly EDUCATIONAL and an opportunity for the public to ask both candidates questions. NO ENDORSEMENTS will be made. It is our hope if YOU are interested in this, those who have NOT yet committed will do so!!!! Come to our forum on Monday, April 27 at the IUK Kresge Auditorium venue at 6:00 to learn about these candidates. Please spread the word and SHARE THIS POST.
