Ind. Courts - More news on judgeships

The Elkhart Truth reports:

Attorney Steve Bowers filed his bid Friday for judge of Elkhart Superior Court 2.

A second-term Elkhart City Council member, Bowers filed paperwork with the Indiana Secretary of State's office to run in the May 2 Republican primary against incumbent Judge Stephen Platt.

Bowers, 52, has practiced law in Elkhart since he graduated from Indiana University Law School, Bloomington, in 1977. He has a general law practice in Elkhart. Bowers ran unsuccessfully for judge of Elkhart County Superior Court 6 against David Bonfiglio several years ago.

The Indianapolis Star reports today on a Hamilton County race:
A new Hamilton County Superior Court judge seat is drawing a crowd of candidates, including three Republicans ready to square off in May to determine who'll represent their party in the general election.

The Superior Court 6 judgeship is a new position, created last year by the Indiana General Assembly, for a court that will become active in the county in January.

Republican candidates vying for that seat are Gail Bardach, William P. Greenaway and Larry Sells. Democrat N. Frederick Eggeson also has declared his intent to run.
