Wruble Stated:
"It has been an honor serving in this role and I appreciate all of the individuals I have worked with over these last 18 months. I did not make this decision lightly, but feel that I must do what is best for my family. St. Joseph County will always be my home and I look forward too many trips back to visit in the future. Vice Chair Debbie Lady Block, along with the rest of the Central Committee, has my full confidence in working to elect a new Chair and move our Party forward. Thank you all for your support and friendship."

"Stan had to make a difficult choice and we all support his decision to put his family first. I have enjoyed working with him over these past 18 months and am glad we will be seeing him for visits from time to time in the future."
