White River Township Board Member William Burkhardt passed away on Feb. 22, so there is now a vacancy on the Board.
A caucus will be held on Tuesday, March 15 to choose his replacement. Interested candidates must live in White River Township, have a Republican primary vote history, and file a notarized Declaration of Candidacy, form CEB-5, as well as a notarized CAN-12 with the Hamilton Country Republican Party 72 hours before the caucus.
You can either email those forms to Hamilton County Republican Party Chairman Mario Massillamany at hcrp@hamiltoncountygop.org, or bring them to HCRP headquarters, 209 E. 175th St., Westfield. (Hours by appointment.)
Candidates will receive a response by email when forms have been received.
