AND THE WINNER IS…

Labor leader John Bartlett will take over the Indiana House seat being vacated by Mae Dickinson.  Dickinson resigned on December 7, saying she wants to spend more time with her family.  She had been in the legislature since 1991.   Bartlett overwhelmingly beat outgoing City-Council member “King Ro” Conley.  According to party insiders, many of the precinct committeemen wanted someone other than Conley saying it was time for the party to go forward.  

As a side note, another name is surfacing as a dark horse candidate for the 7th Congressional District.   Ice Miller attorney Randall Pollard’s name is being floated as a candidate Democrats could coalesce around.   Currently, most of the major players are lining up behind State Representative Carolene Mays, City-County Council Member Andre Carson and Robin Winston, former State party chairman.
