Brian Lucchi announces Republican bid for Dubois County Circuit Court Judge

Brian Lucchi announced March 2 that he is running as a Republican for Dubois County Circuit Court Judge, formally entering the judicial contest with local roots in Jasper and a career centered on public service. Lucchi lives in Jasper and graduated from Northeast Dubois High School, details he cited as central to his local ties when launching the campaign.

Lucchi is an attorney whose career has focused on public service, principally serving as a deputy prosecuting attorney. That prosecutorial background frames the professional experience he brings to a county bench that adjudicates criminal filings originating from the county prosecutor’s office, and it will be a focal point as voters and legal peers evaluate his qualifications.

By declaring as a Republican on March 2, Lucchi has placed himself in the partisan field for the Circuit Court judgeship. His party affiliation will shape the campaign calendar and the primary dynamics within Dubois County precincts, where party organization and turnout patterns in Jasper and surrounding townships will influence candidate visibility and voter contact strategies.

Lucchi’s Jasper residency and Northeast Dubois education underscore a campaign built on local connections rather than distant practice; those ties are likely to structure outreach at community institutions across the county. As a candidate with prosecutorial experience, his record in the deputy prosecutor’s office will be scrutinized for case outcomes, courtroom conduct, and sentencing recommendations when voters assess fitness for the bench.

With his March 2 announcement, Lucchi has converted a longtime public-service legal role into an active bid for the Circuit Court seat. The race now turns to the next procedural steps for ballot access and to how Dubois County voters respond to a candidate who combines Jasper hometown credentials, a Northeast Dubois diploma, and years as a deputy prosecuting attorney.
