LIMING, ALCORN TO RUN FOR OFFICE IN 2016

Two more candidates have announced their plans to run for office this year.
Beth Liming has announced that she wants to serve another four year term as county clerk. She says vote centers had just been completed when she was elected to her first term, and election costs have been cut in half using vote centers. She continues to work with other clerks around the state to help them get vote centers started in their own counties. Also during her tenure, Cass County  made the switch to the statewide court management system, Odyssey. In 2016 the County Clerk’s office plans to start accepting credit and debit cards.
Cheryl Alcorn, who most recently served as the administrative assistant in the mayor’s office, plans to run for County Auditor.
Before that, she was a secretary for Logansport Community Schools; she also has retail experience at Fox Jewelry and Minglin Jewelers.
Alcorn and her husband, Ken, have one daughter and two grandsons.
The position of auditor is currently held by Vaneen Ide, who announced last week that she plans to run for county treasurer.
Candidates can officially begin filing to be on the ballot tomorrow.
