Candidates Continue to File in Pulaski County, Still Few Contested Races

A former Pulaski County Council member is looking to make a comeback. Doug Roth has filed to run as a Republican for the District 2 council seat. It’s currently held by Tom Roth.

Meanwhile, Tippecanoe Township Trustee Martie White and White Post Township Trustee Karen Wagner have recently filed to run for reelection, as have several township board members.
