The election isn’t until November, but three new members of the General Assembly have already clinched victory. Three nominees to replace retiring Democrats are now unopposed after the passing of a pair of deadlines for candidates to get on the ballot. Army veteran Renee Pack will be the new state representative on Indy’s westside, replacing fellow Democrat Karlee Macer. Former Miss Indiana and Monroe County Councillor Shelli Yoder (D) will be the new state senator from Bloomington, replacing Mark Stoops. And Maureen Bauer will replace her father Pat in a South Bend House seat.
