The sweep run November 2026 · against the build's own succession lists
Jeff Broadwick — the chairman no roster carried: The Harris Township board's chairmanship for 2021 belongs to a man the banked Government file never names in any seat. The State Board of Accounts' compliance engagement report for Harris Township, 2019–2023, prints the board's chairs year by year — Karen Vargo in 2019, Chuck Sulok in 2020, Jeff Broadwick in 2021, Karen Vargo again from 2022 to 2024 — and Broadwick stands in no other article of the build: not in the township entry's sitting board (Fox, Sulok, Vargo, as printed in 2026), not in the People file's rolls. He is entered here whole at the strength of that one official line: a Harris Township board member who held its chair in 2021, in Trustee Lindsay's third term, between Sulok's year and Vargo's return. The report gives him the chair and nothing else — no party, no occupation, no second year is printed in it, and none is supplied here.
Alice Langel — Clay's chairman of 2006, at the strength of two records: The banked Government file carries Alice Langel in a subordinate clause — the State Board of Accounts' schedule names her chairing the Clay Township board in 2006 — and nowhere else in the build. Entered whole, she is the first woman this ground's government record names in a presiding seat: chairman of the Clay Township board in 2006, in Trustee Robbie M. Thomas's second term, succeeded in the chair by Mike Dobson in 2007 — the same Dobson who took the trusteeship itself in 2010. Whether she was the first woman to chair or to sit on either township's board is not claimed: the earlier boards are unlisted in the record reached, and the firsts question is worked, and left open, in the Women's History depth addendum. What the two records give is a chairmanship, dated, in the larger of the place's two townships, and it stands here at that size.
Trisha Carrico — the chief deputy the clerk's line dropped: The clerk succession in the banked file is a transition in one sentence — Ball defeats Rolfes — and the woman who ran the office beside Rolfes stands in neither file. Trisha Carrico, Chief Deputy Clerk of St. Joseph County, co-presented with Clerk Amy Rolfes at the national election-systems certification conference in Washington in 2025, delivering the county's account of its post-election audit — the 2024 presidential audit returned at a 99 percent confidence level — to the United States Election Assistance Commission's gathering, with Indiana's Secretary of State praising the clerk's work from the same stage. She is entered as the completeness pass enters deputies: the working second of the office across the term the banked file prints as one name, at the strength of the conference record that names her.
Loyd (Steve) Weldy — a variance the sweep settles to one man, flagged: The banked Government file prints the Clay board's 2026 Republican line with an open variance — "Steve Weldy" in the July caucus report, "Lloyd Weldy" in the October ballot list — and carries the question whether they are one man or two as unsettled, with the Clerk's candidate record as settler. The sweep's pull of the Indiana Election Division's 2026 candidate list, as published in compilation (export of 22 September 2026), prints the candidate as "Loyd (Steve) Weldy (R)": one candidate, given name Loyd — spelled with one L in the list, against the banked file's October "Lloyd" — and familiar name Steve. The sweep therefore enters him whole as one man, Loyd "Steve" Weldy, Republican candidate for the Clay Township board in 2026, and flags the entry for what it is: a narrowing of a banked variance by a compilation of the official list, printed over the banked text only at assembly, with the Clerk's own candidate record remaining the final settler for both the identity and the spelling. The same list prints his running mate as "Kevin (KC) Conery (R)," reconciling the banked file's second variance — "Kevin Connery" in February, "Kevin Conery" in October — to the Conery spelling with the initials KC; that reconciliation is flagged on the same terms.
The sweep's remainder, printed honestly: The remaining rosters were re-read on the same terms and yield no new whole name in the record reached. The school successions in the banked Government file are seat-by-seat whole already — the sweep notes only that they repay the re-reading: Larry Romero's resignation of 8 February 2016 and Angie Gates's appointment of 3 March 2016 to his Harris Township seat stand there at full entry strength, and Gates is tested as a possible first in the Women's History addendum, where the claim does not survive at first-strength and is printed so. And the nineteenth-century trustee holders the People file profiled in other men's entries — Jacob Meyer, John A. Zaehnle, James Lowry Jr., Franklin E. Lowry, John M.
