County party chairs are allowed to appoint candidates that did not run in the primary election, and there is an opening with no candidate for that party, to be placed on the November general election ballot.  The Hamilton County Democratic Party announced Monday Chairman Joe Weingarten will be appointing five candidates for county offices.

Dan Montgomery will be opposing Republican incumbent Mark Heirbrandt in County Commissioner District 3 (which includes Fishers).

In the Hamilton County Council at-large election, add Democrat Victor Schleich to be on the ballot in November.

Other Democrats running in November include:

County Treasurer – Jake Madore

County Auditor – Michael Roberts

County Surveyor – Brad Beer
