It is also important to recall the GOP\u2019s insistence on public precinct lists during ACDP\u2019s 2024 mayoral caucus to replace Mayor Tom Henry. At the time, Republican Chairman Steve Shine said he would make the Republican list public if the roles were reversed. Yet as time winds down, the GOP list is nowhere to be found, and Republicans are operating without transparency.<\/p>\n<p>In 2024, ACDP also set precedent for robust, consistently updated public candidate lists in an effort to inform the broader community of the process, since it didn\u2019t involve a public election. Shine and the GOP are not leading a public or robust process. The caucus to replace Keesling involves a single candidate who is endorsed by Keesling, and as of this release no candidates are publicly vying to replace Hale.<\/p>\n<p>\u201cThere seems to be a complete disregard for public interest coming from the Republican Party, despite holding caucuses to replace multiple local government officials this week,\u201d said ACDP Chairman Chad Wierzbinski. \u201cNeither caucus has any competition, and one has no public candidates at all. Chairman Shine was quite outspoken in 2024 about the need for transparency when parties hold caucuses, and now he is failing to meet his own standard. We look forward to the expedient release of the voter lists.\u201d<\/p><\/blockquote>\n<p>&nbsp;<\/p>\n<h3>Related Images:<\/h3><div class=\"ngg-related-gallery\">\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/71709.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Mayor Tom Henry announces call for referendum vote on the gaming issue during a press conference on February 27, 2009.\"\n\t\t\tclass='thickbox' rel='50e46725fc3ed9f36dd41040e68392ab' data-image-id=\"199\" data-src=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/71709.jpg\" data-thumbnail=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/thumbs\/thumbs_71709.jpg\" data-title=\"2009\/02\/27: Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry\" data-description=\"Mayor Tom Henry announces call for referendum vote on the gaming issue during a press conference on February 27, 2009.\">\n\t\t\t<img title=\"2009\/02\/27: Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry\"\n\t\t\t\talt=\"2009\/02\/27: Fort Wayne Mayor Tom Henry\"\n\t\t\t\tdata-image-id=\"199\"\n\t\t\t\tsrc=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/thumbs\/thumbs_71709.jpg\"\/>\n\t\t<\/a>\n\t\t\t<a href=\"https:\/\/aroundfortwayne.com\/news\/wp-content\/gallery\/cityoffw\/71710.jpg\"\n\t\t\ttitle=\"Mayor Tom Henry shakes hands with Allen County Councilman Paul Moss after the press conference announcing his decision to seek a referendum vote on the gaming issue.
