Marty Sowers, of Porter Township, has officially announced his candidacy for Magisterial District Judge in District 21-3-04.

He says his campaign will emphasize his commitment to public service and the fair administration of justice.

“As District Judge, I will bring my experience in municipal government and my unwavering commitment to the safety, security and constitutional rights of every citizen,” Sowers says in a statement. “I understand the challenges our communities face and I am dedicated to ensuring fairness and justice for all.”

Sowers touts nearly two decades of experience serving the district, saying he has developed a reputation as an advocate for local communities.

As the Municipal Services Manager for Light-Heigel and Associates, he has worked with municipalities in multiple roles, including Building Code Official, Zoning Officer, Code Enforcement Officer, and Floodplain Administrator. He says his background provides first-hand insight into pressing local issues such as blight, truancy, crime, and drug-related concerns.
