Most of the election campaigns this cycle will be at the county and state levels, but one set of offices a little closer to home will be up for grabs, at the township level.

Delaware Township, which includes the west part of Fishers and some unincorporated areas not within the city limits, will see contested elections this November.

Dan Greenhalgh, who was appointed by the local Democratic County officials a few weeks ago, has issued a release formally announcing his candidacy for Delaware Township Trustee, according to my news gathering partners at the Hamilton County Reporter.

“As a licensed Indiana attorney and an experienced engineer, I have spent my career solving complex problems and continuously improving products and processes,” said Greenhalgh in his news release. “If elected, I’ll use these unique skills and experiences to streamline township government and refocus the township’s nearly $1.5 million budget on the township’s core purpose – providing assistance to those in need.”

Greenhalgh will face long-time incumbent Republican Trustee Debbie Driskell in November.

There will be a full slate of candidates running for Delaware Township Board.  Republicans David Giffel, Ed Pierce and Marilyn Schenkel will appear on the GOP ballot.  The Democrats running include Dayna Colbert, Mary Ray and Bianca Zaklikowski.  The top three vote-getters win seats on that board.

The eastern part of Fishers, including the city and areas not within the city, are part of Fall Creek Township.  Republican Trustee Doug Allman is unopposed in the November general election.  Three Republicans, Brian Baehl, Greg Dewald and Jason Meyer,  are all candidates for the Fall Creek Township Board.  The lone Democrat vying for a board seat is Rachna Greulach.

The general election is set for Tuesday, November 6th.
