Hatcher Breaks Barriers to Become Gary Indiana Mayor
Richard Ciccone reports that Richard Natcher, great grandson of a slave, won Gary Indiana mayoral race as a Democrat despite local party opposition. He defeated Republican Joseph Radigan by 1495 votes, ending decades of Democratic control. Natcher's path included a 1939 Gary move, Indiana University and Valparaiso law degrees, and four years as Lake County deputy prosecutor. He ran with 2009 volunteers, headquarters in a boarded area, and staged a citywide get‑out effort. In his victory speech he questioned state chaos while promising an intact Gary. Krupa refused to support him after he beat Katz in the Democratic primary, citing machine opposition.
