Porter County - Who's running for what

I got this question emailed from a reader today, and so I'll give it a shot - and will try to update this post quite a bit over the next couple days as people tell me I'm missing information. My eventual goal is to have a post that will feature not only names but links to websites, facebook fan pages, and other contact info for everyone ... not only here in Porter County but for LaPorte and Lake as well.

United States Senator - incumbent Evan Bayh has announced his retirement, no Democrat was able to get enough signatures to reach the ballot so party committee members will choose the candidate for the ballot by June 30th. Republicans - John Hostettler, Marlin Stutzman, Don Bates Jr., Richard Behney, and Dan Coats all received the required signatures and filed to run.
