Tomorrow is the election day for Mark Dobson's vacant 1st District County Commissioner's seat. 40 Republican precinct committee people will vote on one of two candidates: Karen Vargo and Andrew Kostielney. The Journal predicted earlier that there could be a third candidate in current county council member Dale Devon. The GOP chairman said that there is still time for another candidate to join in the race, but he doesn't think that it is very likely.
The election will be held tomorrow at 1 pm at St joe County Republican Headquarters.
St Joseph County GOP chairman Chris Reily is also going to be seeking another term shortly, but that election is not until March 17th. Mr. Reily had initially indicated two years ago that he would only seek one term in this office. He claims that he has seen a new future for his party and he wants help it grow in this county. In a release last month Reily stated that,
'When I first took the helm, people cautioned me "you'll be the captain of an empty ship"--a statement that proved patently false. Over the last two years, dozens of people dedicated their lives to this Party, and--and a result--we made enormous progress.'
Some of the accomplishments he cites are:
* over 125 new members
* the hirng of an Executive Director
* newsletter email list of over 1000
* establishment of new College Republican groups at area universities
* restarting Young Republicans and South Bend City Committees
* creation of a Candidate's College to train future elected officials
