WARSAW – Kosciusko County Republicans have released details for two caucuses needed after last week’s election created a pair of vacancies in county government.

Republican precinct committee members will choose a new county treasurer and county coroner on Thursday, Dec. 1, according to Kosciusko County Republican Party Chairman Mike Ragan.

Starting time for the doubleheader is 6 p.m. Ragan said the treasurer’s vacancy will be considered first.

The opening for county coroner was created after Tony Ciriello won election to the county council in the Nov. 8 election.

Similarly, an opening for county treasurer happened when Rhonda Helser was elected auditor.

The deadline to file declarations of candidacy for both openings is 6 p.m. Monday, Nov. 28. Applications should be given to Ragan and can be obtained at the Kosciusko County Clerk of the Circuit Court, 121 North Lake St., Warsaw, during normal business hours.

During the caucus, each candidate will be given up to three minutes to address the voting caucus.
