County council to have at least one new face in January as J. Miller nips incumbent Hoke

Huntington County Tab:

The Huntington County Council will have at least one new face in January following newcomer Jaime Miller's narrow victory over incumbent Chris Hoke in the Republican primary election on Tuesday, May 8.

Eight men were seeking nominations to the three county council seats, with incumbents Shane Bickel and John E. Hacker joining Jaime Miller in earning Republican victories.

The three are not assured victories in November, however. The local Democrat party, which had no candidates in the primary, has until June to field candidates for the November ballot.
