Ind. Courts - La Porte Superior Court 2 judge contest
Dave Hawk reports in the Michigan City News-Dispatch, in a story that begins:
The Republican running for La Porte Superior Court 2 judge, Thomas Rutkowski, grew up in Wisconsin, but has been in Michigan City for 35 years.Rutkowski brings something of an outsider's perspective, but it's because he spent 20 years as an executive in a major steel corporation, while his Democratic opponent, Richard Stalbrink, who was born in the southern La Porte County town of La Crosse, clerked for two local judges, worked as a deputy prosecutor in the county and has been a magistrate in Circuit Court for a year.
Rutkowski and Stalbrink vie in the election next Tuesday to replace retiring Judge Steven King.
