James Polarek has announced his plans to campaign for the 4th District seat on the Porter County Council. A member of the Morgan Township Board, Polarek said he has stepped aside as the District 4 GOP Chairman as to prevent any conflict of interest.
From Polarek’s news release:
I have made service to my community and country a corner stone of my life. From the years of my youth in Boy Scouts, to my years of service in the United States Army, a current Cub Scout leader and little league coach, to my current position on the Morgan Twp Board.
I have given this a great amount of thought and feel that our county is in need of new leadership that places people over politics. Our citizens deserve a representative that can bring Republican small government, low taxes and accountability to the table. The citizens of Dist 4 have been under served for over 10 years and I am going to change that!
Yesterday I informed the Porter County Republican Party Chairwomen (sic), Joyce Webster, of my intention to temporally step aside as District 4 Chairman as to prevent any conflict of interest. Retired Porter Twp Trustee Bob Wichlinski has agreed to fill in as Dist 4 Chairman, and Andy Vasquez as his Vice-Chair, until after the Nov 2010 elections.
At that time I will resume my duties as the Dist 4 Chairman.
