NEW PALESTINE — As a reminder, the Hancock County Republican Party is holding a town convention for the six Republicans vying for the five seats up for grabs on the New Palestine Town Council tonight. The five top vote-getters will then be on the ballot with two other Independent candidates this fall for the general election.

The six Republican candidates are (R) Bill Niemier, New Palestine Town Council at large (Incumbent); (R) Robert (Rocky) Cooper, New Palestine Town Council at large; (R) Ethan L. Maple, New Palestine Town Council at large; (R) Chad Molinder, New Palestine Town Council at large; (R) Teri Reed, New Palestine Town Council at large; and (R) Chris P. Wernimont, New Palestine Council at large.
Reed, who grew up in New Palestine and said her aunt served on the town’s council for 23 years and instilled in her a love for the community and the importance of listening to the public and to be their advocate.
“I have attended town council meetings and have heard what the public is saying, which is why I want to be part of the council to have a positive impact on the community,” Reed said. “We have great potential in this town, and I want to see it develop strategically so that our children will be proud to call New Pal their home for years to come.”
The Daily Reporter will cover the convention and have results in Saturday’s edition.
