(La Porte County, IN) - Steve Holifield recently filed to run for LaPorte County Commissioner in the Republican Primary. 

 

Holifield said he is focused on supporting economic development, increasing transparency and civility within the commission, and strengthening nepotism and whistle-blower ordinances. 

 

“Elected officials have a job to do, and too often, it is the taxpayers who suffer from the lack of civility and collaboration,” he said.

 

Holifield is a farmer from Mill Creek, running against three Republican opponents for the District 2 seat in the May 7th primary.

 

“Our community needs a government that sets aside its differences and puts the needs of LaPorte County ahead of their self-interests. I am committed to being a voice of the people and ensuring you are heard by your local government.” 

 

Currently, Holifield serves as the president of the Lincoln Township Advisory Board, having previously held other elected positions, including serving on the Lincoln Township Advisory Board and the Fish Lake Conservancy District for six years as a financial officer. 

 

He’s opposed by incumbent Rich Mrozinski, La Porte County Auditor Tim Stabosz, and Martin C. Smith.
