Sue Ann Mitchell

WARSAW — Today, Friday, Feb. 9, Sue Ann Mitchell withdrew her filing for Kosciusko County Council at Large and changed the filing to Commissioner Northern District.

Mitchell filed for county council at large for her third term on Feb. 2, but many shared their concern for the commissioner northern district position and encourage her to withdraw and refile for the commissioner’s race.

Mitchell shared “Filing for the county council at large position was the easy path to continue doing what I have done for the last eight years. After a great deal of soul searching, this is much like in 1998, when I filed for assessor and then changed the filing to auditor because the county needed a county auditor candidate. I was successful in that election and served two terms as auditor. I did not make this decision lightly. I would like to continue serving Kosciusko County in a position where I can make the most difference. After I filed for the council, there were other signs that helped lead me to change the filing today to commissioner northern district.”

She went on to say, “I served as the secretary for the commissioners for eight years as county auditor where I prepared the information for their meetings so informed decisions could be made. I have knowledge of the commissioners duties and responsibilities along with understanding the issues that come before them for consideration. I have nothing personal to gain. I have always tried to be well informed in all decisions that need to be made and am up to speed in what is going on in Kosciusko County government. I strongly believe in annual maintenance of all county property while working within the budget, working with the county highway to continue to use money wisely to improve roads and bridges. I would like to be at the table for long-term decisions and planning for the county, so we do not miss opportunities to better the community within budget. I look forward to being able to continue to serve the residents of Kosciusko County as the Northern District County Commissioner.”
