ATTICA, Ind. (WLFI) - The Attica Clerk-Treasurer is running for State Representative.

Republican Sharon Negele announced her candidacy for the House District 24 race.

That district includes parts of Fountain, Warren, Vermillion, Parke, and Vigo counties.

Democrat Dale Grubb currently holds the seat. Grubb says he plans to run for re-election.

Negele says she wants to find ways to reduce unemployment and improve the infrastructure in the area without causing a financial burden on citizens.

"I need to listen to the citizens that's the most important thing. I need to listen to what their needs are. I want smart legislation. I want legislation that doesn't create additional burdens on our citizens and our local units of government. My experience in a local unit of government will really be helpful in those particular areas," said Negele.

Negele has served as Attica Clerk-Treasurer since 2003.
