Ind. Courts - "Republican enters Delaware Circuit Court 3 race"
Rick Yencer reports today in the Muncie Star-Press:
A local defense attorney has jumped into the growing race for Delaware Circuit Court 3 judge that already has a Democratic primary contest.See this Feb. 12th ILB entry for background.Mark Delgado, 35, also a captain in the Indiana National Guard, filed Tuesday for the Republican nomination to the Circuit Court 3 bench, hoping to succeed Judge Robert Barnet Jr., who decided not to seek a sixth term this year. * * *
Delgado is the third candidate in recent days to file for the open judge's seat. Democrats Joe Orick, a deputy prosecutor, and Muncie City Court Judge Linda Wolf also are on the ballot for their party's May 6 primary.
In 2006, Delgado lost by a wide margin to Democratic Prosecutor Mark McKinney. * * *
Two other judge's seats are on the May 6 ballot: Circuit Court 4, where Republican Judge John Feick is seeking re-election, and Circuit Court 5, where Democratic Judge Wayne Lennington also wants a second term.
No challengers have filed for those benches. The deadline for entering the primary is noon Friday.
