Randy Truitt to make announcement in HD26

We learned last year that Democrat State Representative Joe Micon will not be running for re-election in HD26. As WTHR reported, HD26 is one of the most closely divided seats between Democrats and Republicans in the state.

The Lafayette Journal and Courier is reporting that West Lafayette City Council member Randy Truitt is holding a press conference today to make an announcement. Stay tuned.

West Lafayette City Council member Randy Truitt, R-at large, will hold a news conference today about an important announcement regarding Indiana House District 26.

Truitt would not confirm if he is announcing his candidacy for the seat Democrat Joe Micon holds. Late last year, Micon announced he would not seek re-election.

"There is going to be an awesome announcement" today, Truitt said. A "big-time announcement."

Truitt won re-election to the West Lafayette City Council in November.
