WARSAW — Kosciusko County’s Republican party will soon be filling another vacancy for an elected official.
That’s after Etna Green Town Council member Jason Hanes announced his resignation earlier this week effective immediately.
Since fewer than two people are eligible to participate in the precinct committeemen caucus, Kosciusko County Chair Mike Ragan will make the appointment on Aug. 27 at the Kosciusko County Clerk’s office.
Declarations of candidacy can be picked up at the clerk’s office and need to be filed with Ragan by Aug. 24.
Meanwhile, Republicans will meet on Aug. 15 to fill the vacancy created after Rhonda Helser resigned as Kosciusko County auditor.
The deadline to file for that position is Aug. 12.
So far, one candidate, Alyssa Jo Schmucker, has announced intentions to fill that position.
