Ind. Courts - "One of three incumbent Delaware County judges announcing a bid for re-election"
From a report in the Muncie Star-Press by Rick Yencer:
The 2008 election began Thursday with one of three incumbent Delaware County judges announcing a bid for re-election.Delaware County Circuit Court Judge 5 Judge Wayne L. Lennington, a Democrat who was elected by only 56 votes in 2002, might face a challenge in the May 6 primary from deputy prosecutor Ron Henderson.
"I don't think he [Henderson] will run," Lennington said after announcing his re-election campaign, before nearly 100 people at local Democratic Party headquarters on Thursday.
Lennington, 77, reminded supporters that the Democratic Party was the base of the community, as he promised fair and impartial justice on the bench. * * *
Henderson, 42, said he was contemplating a campaign for judge, but had not decided.
Democratic Circuit Court 3 Judge Robert Barnet Jr. and Republican Circuit Court 4 Judge John Feick also face re-election next year.
Feick was first elected in 2002, beating Muncie City Court Judge Linda Wolf. Barnet was unopposed in that election; he would be seeking a sixth term as Circuit 3 judge if he runs next year.
Filing for the May 6 primary begins Jan. 23.
