GARY -

Indiana Supreme Court Justice Robert Rucker is seeking another 10-year term.

The Times of Munster reports the Gary native filed papers Wednesday to run for retention on the Nov. 6 general election ballot. He beat a Monday deadline to file.

Rucker, the second-ever African-American to serve on the court, was appointed to the Supreme Court in 1999 by Gov. Frank O'Bannon. He won a 10-year term in a 2002 retention election.

If voters retain Rucker through 2022, the 65-year-old justice will reach the court's mandatory retirement age the year his term expires.

Justice Steven David also is seeking a 10-year term on the November ballot. David was appointed by Gov. Mitch Daniels in 2010. New justices must stand for retention in the first general election after serving two years.
