Four more Democrats file for city seats, filing deadline for primary is Friday

COLUMBUS, Ind. — Four more Democrats have filed for 2023 city elections.

Incumbent Councilman Jerone Wood, who currently represents District 1, has filed to run for Columbus City Council’s District 3 seat due to new district maps.

Michael Kinder has also joined the District 3 race.

Incumbent Councilman-at-large Tom Dell has filed for re-election.

Quisha Jackson has filed to run for Columbus city clerk. Incumbent Columbus City Clerk-Treasurer Luann Welmer, a Republican, filed for the position earlier this month.

The deadline to file for primary elections is noon Friday, and the deadline to withdraw as a candidate is Feb. 10. Filings are completed in person at the Bartholomew County Clerk’s office at the courthouse.
