Wells County Republican Party Announces Results of Ossian and Jefferson Township Caucuses

Bluffton, IN – The Wells County Republican Party has announced the results of caucuses held to fill vacancies in Ossian and Jefferson Township.

The office of Ossian Town Clerk-Treasurer has been vacant since September 5, 2025. No candidates filed prior to the statutory deadline, so no caucus was held. In accordance with Indiana law, the Ossian Town Council may appoint an individual to the office beginning 30 days after the effective date of the resignation. 

In the Jefferson Township Advisory Board caucus, Jeffrey “JJ” Whicker was selected to fill the vacancy by Wells County Republican Party Chairman Preston T. Wright. JJ was the only candidate to properly file a Declaration of Candidacy in a timely manner.

“JJ is a great addition to the Jefferson Township Advisory Board,” said Preston T. Wright, Wells County Republican Party Chairman. “He is young, brings lots of energy, and we are grateful he was willing to step up and serve his community.”
