Republicans seek candidates for three positions being vacated

The Dubois County Republican Party is seeking candidates to fill three seats being vacated: two due to the recent election and one as a longtime elected official announces his retirement.

Amy L. Kippenbrock served as Dubois County Clerk of the Circuit Court for eight years. She recently resigned after her successful election as Indiana State Representative for District 63. Kippenbrock was reelected in 2022. The chosen candidate will serve the remainder of her term until Stephanie Fair, who ran unopposed in the recent election, is sworn into office in January.

Doug Uebelhor currently serves on the Dubois County Council. Following his successful uncontested election for Dubois County Commissioner, his service on the County Council will conclude on December 31, 2026. Uebelhor was reelected in 2024, and the selected individual will serve the remaining two years of his term.

Kenneth Brosmer has served as Dubois County Surveyor for more than 20 years. He has announced his resignation effective December 31, 2026. Brosmer was reelected in 2024, and the selected individual will serve the remaining two years of his term.

Dubois County Republican Party Chair Amy L. Kippenbrock is convening the caucus in accordance with the Rules of the Indiana Republican Party to fill the vacancies. The caucus will take place on Sunday, November 22, 2026, at 5:30 p.m. at Jasper Moose Lodge #1157, 2507 N. Newton St., Jasper, IN 47546.
