We’re hearing a possible contender for the new statehouse district in Brownsburg (HD 24) is, former State Rep Matt Whetstone. Word is Whetstone is being discouraged about running due to his ties to the gaming industry, but he doesn’t think that will be a big issue.

Former State Rep. Karlee Macer of Indianapolis is announcing she is running for Wayne Township Trustee. Chuck Jones is not expected to run again.
