LaGrange Attorney Selected To Fill Stutzman's Former Senate Seat
By Jennifer [email protected]
Stutzman was elected to the 3rd district congressional seat Nov. 2.
Glick was selected to fill the seat during a caucus Saturday morning in Kendallville at the Four County Area Vocation Cooperative.
Glick was the only woman vying for the seat and defeated four other candidates: Noble County Sheriff Gary Leatherman, former LaGrange County councilman Harold Gingerich, Kendallville city councilman Regan Ford and Steuben County dentist Dennis Zent.
There were five rounds of voting, and Glick defeated Leatherman by four votes in the fifth round.
Each candidate had a person speak for them for two minutes.
There were 63 precinct committee members who voted Saturday. There were six committee members from Kosciusko County, 16 from LaGrange County, one from DeKalb County, 11 from Steuben County and 29 from Noble County.
Precinct committee members who voted from Kosciusko County included Susan Myrick, Karen Grady, Sue Ann Mitchell, Heidi Heinisch, Mark Grady and Don Guy.
District 13 represents LaGrange, Noble and parts of DeKalb, Kosciusko and Steuben counties. The district represents Tippecanoe and Turkey Creek townships in Kosciusko County.
Glick served two terms as LaGrange County prosecutor from 1983 to 1990. She also worked on former Governor Otis Bowen's staff in the 1970s.
"I know how government process works and I have helped with budgets," Glick said.
She said she disagrees with the Kernan-Shepard report.
She doesn't agree with the elimination of township government, the elimination of county commissioners or county assessors that the report would eliminate.
"I don't think eliminating the government that is closest to the people is the way to do it," Glick said.
Stutzman made a surprise appearance during the caucus voting.
He said Glick was a good selection.
"She will do a great job and is very knowledgeable and knows the process and will be able to step right in and won't need a learning curve," Stutzman said.[[In-content Ad]]
