IndianaRepublican Party Announces Date of Caucuses to Fill Second Congressional District Ballot Vacancies
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (Aug. 9, 2022) — Today, in accordance with Indiana Code, Indiana Republican Party Chairman Kyle Hupfer officially called two caucuses of eligible precinct committee members to separately fill ballot vacancies for the upcoming special election and the upcoming general election resulting from the passing of Rep. Jackie Walorski.
“We are still in shock by the tragic passing of Rep. Jackie Walorski and not eager to talk about the next steps,” stated Indiana Republican Party Chairman Kyle Hupfer. “Unfortunately, Indiana Code requires us to move much faster than any of us would like. While we are taking actions to move forward in filling the vacancies, we shall not forget Jackie, Zach, and Emma and their immense legacies.”
Generally, the Indiana Republican Party would have 30 days to fill a ballot vacancy. However, in this instance, Indiana Code requires that a certificate of nomination be submitted to the Indiana Election Division no later than noon on Friday, August 26, 2022.
Accordingly, the caucuses will be held at 11 a.m. on Saturday, August 20, 2022, at Grissom Middle School located at 13881 Kern Road, Mishawaka, IN 46544.
