(La Porte, IN) - A man is chasing after his dream of being a judge in La Porte Circuit Court as Chuck Watterson, IV is seeking the Republican nomination for the seat in the May 7th primary.
Watterson, who is currently the La Porte County Chief Deputy Prosecutor, said it’s always been his dream to preside over cases in La Porte Circuit Court and follow the work current Judge Tom Alevizos has done on the bench.
Alevizos, who’s in his 18th year as judge in La Porte Circuit Court, is not seeking reelection.
If elected, the lifelong La Porte resident said he would focus on improving access to justice for all members of the community, and decide matters in a fair and impartial manner.
Watterson obtained his law degree from Valparaiso University School of Law in 2017, having worked as both a prosecutor and a defense attorney during his six years of practicing in La Porte. He is also a former member of the La Porte County Election Board.
La Porte County Deputy Prosecutor Julianne Havens is also seeking the Republican Party nomination for the seat.
