A third candidate has announced plans to enter the race for Logansport mayor.
In 2015, Terry Doran ran as a Democrat and was elected to one of Logansport’s two at-large seats on the Logansport City Council. In 2018, he ran for State Representative in House District 23 as a Democrat.
On Saturday, Doran announced that he plans to run as an independent candidate for Logansport mayor. Doran also said that he plans to appoint Teresa Popejoy, a Republican who has served two four-year terms on the Logansport City Council, as Deputy Mayor.
Dave Kitchell, who was elected mayor in 2015, is seeking re-election as the Democrat candidate for mayor and was unopposed in the primary.
The Republican candidate for mayor, Chris Martin, was also unopposed in the primary.
