Incumbent Kruzan in lead in Bloomington mayoral primary

Mayor Mark Kruzan is ahead in the Democratic mayoral primary race over challenger John Hamilton with one precinct still uncounted and 95 percent of the vote in.

John Gusan, who suspended his campaign in early March but remained on the ballot has less than 1 percent.

Kruzan has served as the mayor of Bloomington since 2003. Prior to being elected mayor, he represented Bloomington in the Indiana House of Representatives.

Throughout the campaign, he has touted his accomplishments for Bloomington and addressed issues related to the city’s future, including his plans to prevent Bloomington Hospital from relocating outside the city limits.

He graduated from IU in 1982 with a degree in journalism and political science and also graduated from the IU School of Law.

City Council Results:

Incumbent Chris Sturbaum is ahead in District 1.

Marty Spechler is ahead in District 3.

Darryl Neher is ahead in District 5, which includes the still uncounted Perry 8 precinct.

Incumbent Steve Volan is ahead in District 6.
