A Glance at Local Primary Elections

(La Porte, IN) - In the upcoming May primary election, it’s a tale of two cities, two parties. In Michigan City, the ballot is heavily Democratic, while in La Porte it’s Republican seats that are being contested.

 

Five Democrats are vying for a chance to replace current Michigan City Mayor Duane Parry. And five seats on the Michigan City Common Council are targeted among twelve different Democrat candidates.
