Hamilton County Democratic Chairperson Dayna Colbert announced five candidates for office in the November election ballot, but a number of Republicans will now be considered elected due to no Democratic or third-party challenger.

Here are the candidates appointed and/or selected by a Democratic party caucus:

—Jessica Paxson will challenge the Republican primary winner Greg Garrison for Hamilton County Prosecutor.  She is a currently a Deputy Prosecutor for Hamilton County and worked at a local law firm for two years.

—Josh Lowry will face Republican State Senator Jim Buck for Senate District 21.  He spent five years as a Deputy Attorney General practicing constitutional law, defending state agencies such as the Department of Child Services and the Indiana State Police.

—Matt McNally will challenge Indiana House member Jerry Torr in District 39.  He was a Naval Aviator, serving in Afghanistan and around the world.  McNally also volunteered as an English Teacher at Exodus Refugee.

—Julia Keller is running for the Clay Township Board and Pam Williams is a candidate in Adams Township.

That leaves a number of offices without Democratic candidates, including for Delaware Township Board.  The Delaware Township trustee post will be unopposed in November.

Other offices where Republicans will not be opposed by Democrats include:

–All but one county council seat

–Two county judgeships

–County commissioner

–County clerk

–County sheriff

–County coroner

–County assessor

House Speaker Todd Huston will have no Democratic challenger in District 37.

This is not a complete listing, but gives you an idea which local offices will have no Democratic candidate in the general election this year.

(EDITOR’S NOTE: Earlier versions of this story incorrectly stated the Fall Creek Township Trustee election has no Democratic candidate.  Nicole Tredup ran in the May primary election as a Democrat and will be on the November ballot for Fall Creek Township Trustee)
