BIG TALK EXTRA
WFHB Correspondent Michael Glab speaks with the Chairs of Monroe County’s Republican and Democratic Parties, William Ellis and Mark Fraley.
FEATURE
The 2018 midterm election season has begun. Early voting for the Indiana primaries started a week ago and runs through May 7. Voters will have a final opportunity to vote on primary election day Tuesday, May 8. The general election is scheduled for Tuesday, November 6. The election largely will be a referendum on the presidency of Donald Trump, with seats from U.S. Senator all the way down to township trustees up for grabs. The respective county chairs of the two parties, Republican William Ellis and Democrat Mark Fraley joined Michael Glab on last week’s Big Talk to discuss how the campaign will shake out.
