(La Porte, IN) - A La Porte man has made a political comeback.

 

Tim Stabosz defeated Jimmy Pressel last night for the Republican Party nomination for the La Porte County Council District 4 seat.  Stabosz won by 58 votes.

 

Two years ago, the former La Porte County Auditor was soundly defeated in the primary for county commissioner then later was defeated by Pressel during a Republican party caucus to fill an open seat on the county council.

 

 

 

Stabosz said he knocked on more than 1,600 doors during what he described as a clean campaign with Pressel.

 

“I got to know my district and I just want to thank the people of county council district 4 because they’re going to have a public servant who’s been a public servant and who knows the job and who has the financial background.   They listened,” he said.

 

Stabosz will face Tyler Brownlee in the November general election.  Brownlee ran unopposed for the democratic nomination.
