In a surprise last minute move, County Democratic Chairman Joe Weingarten announced the filing of candidates for County Clerk and County Coroner in this year’s upcoming election.

Earlier the chairman had indicated it looked as though there would be no Democratic candidates for the two county offices.

Filing for clerk is Cathy Sutton, Noblesville resident and employee of Zionsville Community Schools. She will be opposing Kathy Richardson, the Republican candidate and retiring member of the Indiana House of Representatives.

Running for coroner is Karin Anderson, a Fishers resident and an anthropologist. She will challenge incumbent Coroner John Chalfin in the November general election.

With the passing of today’s noon deadline, the stage is now set for the general election with Democrats having more local candidates than they have fielded in many years.
