Voters across Northwest Indiana will have the opportunity to decide who will represent them at the local level on Tuesday as numerous cities and towns will be voting for candidates for council, clerk-treasurer and mayor.

Four Portage Democrats’ names will be on the ballot for the primary as they vie for city council at-large. Voters will choose two of the four candidates to be on the November ballot.

With just one week left to file for a spot on the May, primary ballot candidates continue to make their intentions known.

No one was wounded in the weekend shootings in Merrillville, police said.

A witness said he saw the man punch the woman and then drag her to a tan vehicle, possibly a Buick, police said.
