A vacancy on the Noblesville Common Council will be filled on Wednesday, Sept. 15 in a caucus of Republican precinct committeemen, according to county GOP chairwoman Laura Campbell.
The vacancy was created by the recent resignation of councilor Wil Hampton who is moving out of state. Hampton represented Council District 4. Only committeemen in that district will be voting on the replacement.
Hampton’s term extends through Dec. 31, 2023. In such a resignation, the party from which the departing member was elected is responsible for filling the vacancy.
The caucus, closed to the general public, will be held at Noblesville City Hall at 6 p.m. on the 15th, but persons interested in being considered for the council seat must apply to Mrs. Campbell at least 72 hours before the caucus.
Information on applying may be found by emailing GOP headquarters at hcrp@hamiltoncountygop.org or by contacting the headquarters at (317) 849-9600.
Hampton was first elected to the nine-member council in 2015 and re-elected in 2019. The council serves as the legislative body for the city.
