Wednesday was the deadline for Republicans to file to run for Congress in the second district.

14 GOP members are now hoping for the opportunity to succeed the late Congresswoman Jackie Walorski in the US House.

The latest names include: Terry Harper III of Granger, Michael Diddiffer of Granger, Scott Huffman of Plymouth and Scott Wise of Columbia City, who all filed paperwork prior to Wednesday’s deadline

Walorski was killed in a car crash more than two weeks ago. Former State AG Curtis Hill, former State Senator Christy Stutzman, and Walorski staffer Rudy Yakym are among the notable candidates.

Democrats have set date for next Tuesday for a caucus to select a candidate to run in the special election to finish Walorski’s term.

Paul Steury is already on the ballot in the general to try and take the seat for next term.

Republican precinct committee members will caucus on Saturday to narrow the list of candidates to one, whose name will appear on the November ballot.
