INDIANAPOLIS – Albion Republican Dave Ober announced Monday he is not seeking re-election to House District 82.
Ober is in his sixth year in the Indiana House. His district includes all of Noble County and portions of Allen, Elkhart, LaGrange and Whitley counties.
He said his recent engagement factored into his decision because his fiancée lives in Indianapolis, and starting a marriage in different cities would have been tough. Then an opening came up on the Indiana Utility Regulatory Commission for which he applied.
"It seemed like the right opportunity," Ober said. "We'll see where that goes. We had to make a decision over the weekend so there is plenty of time for others to file."
