From what I hear, Jack Brinkman may face a primary fight which I call unfortunate. Unfortunate because Judge Brinkman has and is doing very good work, and is certainly not the Democratic Judge who needs a primary fight.
Meanwhile, over in Muncie, Judge Lennington is running. Judge announces bid for re-election:
"Delaware County Circuit Court Judge 5 Judge Wayne L. Lennington, a Democrat who was elected by only 56 votes in 2002, might face a challenge in the May 6 primary from deputy prosecutor Ron Henderson."
***Delaware County's oldest judge, Lennington was appointed to the bench in 1998 and then won election over Republican newcomer Brian Fitzwater in 2002. Lennington also served as a master commissioner, probate commissioner and bankruptcy trustee before serving as judge. He graduated in 1956 from the Indiana University School of Law.
Allie Craycraft, Democratic Party vice chairman, pledged his support and will serve as Lennington's campaign chairman. Craycraft's daughter, Cindy Harty, works in Lennington's office.
Henderson, 42, said he was contemplating a campaign for judge, but had not decided.
Democratic Circuit Court 3 Judge Robert Barnet Jr. and Republican Circuit Court 4 Judge John Feick also face re-election next year.
Feick was first elected in 2002, beating Muncie City Court Judge Linda Wolf. Barnet was unopposed in that election; he would be seeking a sixth term as Circuit 3 judge if he runs next year.
Give them hell, Wayne.
