(Versailles, IN) – The Indiana Republican Party will hold a caucus tonight at 6 at the Ripley County Courthouse Annex to fill the vacancy in House District 67.
The vacancy was created by Randy Frye’s recent resignation.
The four candidates vying for the position are current Decatur County Councilmember Deanna Burkhart, Pamela Crozier, Lisa Seng Shadday, and J. Alex Zimmerman.
The winner will fill the remainder of the office’s 2023-24 term.
The caucus will be presided over by Indiana Republican Party Chairman Kyle Hupfer and be conducted in accordance with Indiana Republican State Committee-approved caucus rules and procedures.
Each candidate will be given the opportunity to have someone provide a two-minute introduction followed by each candidate speaking for themselves. The candidates will be given three minutes to speak.
Following candidate speeches, voting will take place.
Following each round of voting, if no candidate receives 50 percent plus one of the votes of those eligible, present, and voting, the candidate or candidates who receive the lowest number of votes will be dropped.
That same process will be repeated until a candidate receives 50 percent plus one, making them the winner.
A live stream will be available here and on the Indiana GOP Facebook page here for those interested in watching the proceedings.
