Carl R. Abbott, life resident of the Delphi area of Carroll County, filed to run for re-election to the at-large county council seat as a Republican.

Abbott has held the council at-large seat for two terms and is seeking his third.

"I am passionate about Carroll County, its future economic growth and maintaining an infrastructure and services offered to the taxpayers of the county," Abbott said. "I will hold elected officials and department heads to their respective budgets and continue to closely monitor expenditures and revenues the county needs to operate."

Abbott explained he was experienced with the budget process and day-to-day operations of the county's financial systems.

"I will continue to work hard for all of Carroll County, its employees, department heads and elected officials to maintain the county with proactive thinking for the betterment of all who call Carroll County home," he said. "It has been my pleasure to serve you, and I look forward to the opportunity to continue my at-large position. Your support in the upcoming primary would be greatly appreciated."

Abbott is owner/director of Abbott Funeral Home in Delphi. He is active in the Delphi United Methodist Church, Delphi Lions Club, Purdue School of Nursing Advisory Board, and Camden Youth Baseball League.

He and his wife of 10 years, Leah Cable, have three children: seven year-old Noah, Myah, who is five, and Elah, two years and 10 months.
