Clamme taking on Burkett (02/10/06)

Two additional contested races for the May primary election were created Thursday when Robert Clamme, a Democrat, submitted a courtesy filing for the Jay County Prosecuting attorney’s spot, and Ted Champ, a Democrat, filed to seek his party’s nomination for the Jay County Council 1 seat.

Incumbent prosecuting attorney Bradley Burkett, also a Democrat, had earlier filed to seek his party’s nomination for the position. Champ, a resident of 4904 South Ind. 1, Redkey, will be running against incumbent Gerald Kirby, also a Democrat, who earlier filed for the council seat that represents Richland Township.

Clamme, a resident of 1423 East Ind. 26, Portland, is a former prosecutor.

Also filing Thursday was incumbent Jay County Assessor, Anita Mills. The Republican candidate, a resident of 1837 West 500 North, Portland, is completing her first four-year elected term in office. She was appointed to serve for two years prior to that.

Ron Harris, a Democrat, also filed for the position earlier this week.

•Bryan Alexander, 303 E. Arch St., Portland, Republican delegate.

Anyone interested in filing is reminded that the deadline to file for the primary is Feb. 17.[[In-content Ad]]
