ANDERSON — Former Madison County prosecutor Rodney Cummings filed Friday to run for prosecutor in the May 4 primary election. Cummings, a Republican, will run against Angela Warner Sims, another Republican who filed Friday to run for the same seat.
Current prosecutor Tom Broderick, a Democrat, filed last week for re-election to his position.
In a news release, Cummings said he had been prosecutor from 1994 to 2006, when he used a system of “restorative justice” to reduce violent crime and incarceration rates. During his term as prosecutor, the Madison County Drug Court, Re-entry Court and Pre-trial Diversion Program were established.
Since, 2006, Cummings has served as director of trial advocacy and homicide prosecutor for the Marion County prosecutor.
Other candidates to file Thursday and Friday for the primary election include:
-- Terry Bailey, Lafayette Township board, Democrat
-- Robert C. Jones, Pendleton Town Council (District 3), Republican
-- Jerry Farr, precinct committee person (Fall Creek 2), Democrat
-- Denna Watkins, Stony Creek Township trustee, Democrat
-- Carletta Morrison, precinct committee person (Fall Creek 9) and state convention delegate, Democrat
-- Doran East, state convention delegate, Democrat
