LaPorte County official will not be able to seek the Republican Party nomination to a third term as county commissioner, unless the removal of his name from the ballot is overturned on appeal.

The LaPorte County Election Board on Friday voted to remove the name of Commissioner Rich Mrozinski from the May 7 Republican primary ballot. The request to do so was made by county GOP Chairman Allen Stevens.

One of the violations cited by Stevens and upheld by the election board was Mrozinski failed to place his initials, as required by state law, on three separate places on the paperwork candidates must file to run for office.

The election board also agreed with Stevens that Mrozinski should be taken off the Republican ballot for not being in good standing with the LaPorte County Republican Central Committee.

The committee, made up of Republican precinct committeepersons throughout the county, voted unanimously in September of 2022 to remove Mrozinski as an official member of the party.
