By Scott Tibbs, May 18, 2010
On May 4, I was elected as a delegate to the 2010 Republican state convention in June. Nine candidates were running for thirteen seats, so everyone was guranteed to win. State convention delegates nominate the candidates for secretary of state, auditor of state and treasurer of state, but there are not any contested races this year.
My overall win/loss record in elections stands at five wins, four losses and one draw. Since 2006, my win/loss record is four wins and two losses, including a spectacular blowout loss in the 2006 general election when I ran for Bloomington Township Board. The one draw came in 2002, when my opponent and I finished with the exact same number of votes in the race for precinct committeman in Perry 14. When there is a tie, the party chairman chooses the winner.
