It was an unusual caucus election because two former colleagues on the Fishers City Council, Jocelyn Vare and Crystal Neumann, both were vying for the job of Hamilton County Democratic Chair.  The caucus of 108 precinct officials Saturday afternoon elected Vare by a 2-vote margin.

Vare says she will begin recruiting candidates for Hamilton County Commissioner and County Council.  No Democrat filed for Commissioner during the filing period and only one candidate filed for County Council.

Vare will replace Dayna Colbert, who resigned from the chair position after accepting a staff position with the state Democratic Party.

I spoke with Jocelyn Vare and Crystal Neumann shortly after the caucus, in the video linked above, where Neumann vowed to support Vare as Democratic County Chair.
