In a primary?
In New Albany?
Noting that the District 6 incumbent is Scott Blair, running as an Independent and thus not on the primary ballot, let's survey a crowded field.
CITY OF NEW ALBANY COUNCIL MEMBER DISTRICT 6
(Precincts New Albany 27, 41, 42, 43, 44)
D Cliff Staten, 1013 Woodfield Dr
R Larry W Belcher, 3202 Hickory Grove
R Noah McCourt, 4055 Prestwick Square
R Nicholas Vaughn, 3502 Lancaster Drive
The DemoDisneyDixiecrats scored a candidate at the last possible moment, and so here is Cliff Staten's Fb campaign page. I'm told he will be openly progressive. This would be refreshing to the point of weirdly unlikely, so we'll see.
Over the weekend, the GOP's mayoral hopeful Kevin "Tippecanoe and Trafficking Too" Zurschmiede glowingly touted Nick Vaughn, who likes to be seen with Ron Grooms in an interesting take on May-December political bromances. Vaughn can be found here and here.
The second Republican contender in District 6 is Noah McCourt, who comes up to the plate swinging with a position on the Pillsbury closing (unedited):
The city council offered the company several million dollars to stay. Ultimatley the decison is up to the corparation,but in the event the plant is relocated. I propose the 7 million dollars offered to pillsbury could also be used for supportive community programs to assist those residents who face the prospect of unemployment.

I can find nothing about Larry Belcher, although I vaguely recall knowing someone by this name a long time ago. Anyone?
The incumbent Blair has a Fb page, although it has not been updated in a while.
Complete primary filings are here.
