Via Times: "Schererville Police Commissioner Sharon Moore was elected in a caucus to become the town's first female council member since the early 1990s.
Kevin Slaman, chairman of the Schererville Republican Party, said the caucus convened Saturday afternoon, and precinct committee members voted unanimously in favor of Moore filling the Ward 5 council seat. She was the only candidate, and the entire process took about 30 minutes.
She was sworn into office immediately after the vote and will be in place at the next Town Council meeting, Slaman said.
Two years remain on the Ward 5 seat, which became vacant when Council President Perry Ferrini died Dec. 13, about halfway through his four-year term"Image from Kim Dugger Krull (Lake County GOP chair)
