State & Local
This section includes information about the local races in the State of Indiana and Jefferson County.
Please note: there is little information available online about races at the Jefferson County, Madison, and Hanover levels. The best strategy to stay informed is to consult the print edition of the Madison Courier on a regular basis. The Courier has recently added an Election Guide where it is archiving articles on our local races.
New! Watch a video of the local candidates information forum, sponsored by the Madison Chamber of Commerce.
