There were two important developments in the Fishers City Election Thursday, the next-to-last day for filing as a candidate in this year’s municipal election.

First, Republican Mike Colby will not be challenging incumbent Northwest District Councilor Selina Stoller. Colby submitted his withdrawal from the race.  In a Facebook posting, Mr. Colby wrote he is pulling out of the race due to health concerns.  Please get better, Mike.

Second, a Democrat has filed to run in the Southwest Council District, the seat currently held by Republican David George.  Adam Kaps is on the primary ballot on the Democratic side.  Kaps is the second Democrat to file in the May primary election.  Joceyln Vare filed earlier this week for city council at-large.

Logan Day has been posting candidate videos and other items on his Logan Day for Mayor Facebook page, but has not formally filed to run for Mayor of Fishers as of the close of business Thursday at the Hamilton County Elections Office.  He and any other candidates have until noon Friday, February 7th, to file their candidacy and appear on the May primary ballot.
