Incumbent Starke County Prosecuting Attorney Nicholas Bourff will have a general election opponent. Knox attorney Timothy Lemon is running on the Republican ticket.
The race for Starke County Coroner will be decided in May unless the Republican Party nominates a candidate. Democrats Dannie Hoffer and Adam Gray are running for that office.
At least one candidate in Pulaski County will be selected via party caucus, as nobody has qualified to run for the District 1 seat on the county council. Incumbent Alex Haschel is running on the Republican ticket for the open county commissioner’s seat currently held by Tracey Shorter, who is not seeking a second term.
