The Indiana Citizen Lists Heidi Beidinger Among New Dem Candidates for Indiana Legislature

ELECTION UPDATE: Democrats, Republicans add 18 legislative candidates to Nov. 8 ballot,

reducing the number of uncontested seats.


At Tuesday’s noon deadline, Indiana Democratic and Republican party officials had added 18 legislative candidates to the Nov. 8 ballot, reducing the number of uncontested seats this year in the Indiana General Assembly.

Party officials had the option of adding candidates in legislative districts where their parties did not field candidates in the May 3 primaries. Along with Libertarian and other third party candidates also brought onto the general election ballot, the addition of the two Republicans and 16 Democrats still leaves about a third of the 125 legislative seats up for election this year
