Friends,After prayerful and thoughtful consideration, I have decided to run for the Indiana House of Representatives seat (HD78) being vacated by Suzanne Crouch in just a few short days. As a matter of fact, just yesterday Dana and I filed in Indianapolis and this Saturday will be the caucus to determine who will fill the vacancy. Thank you to all of you who weighed in and have been overwhelmingly supportive to help me to make this decision, including family and friends. In fact, there were many party leaders, fellow Precinct Committeemen, current state legislators, former federal legislators, local elected officials, and more who were all very encouraging about this race and I appreciate all of those wise counselors for their candor and words of advice.There are a number of reasons why I decided to run, including the fact I have been involved politically for the majority of my life (17 years) going all the way back to being a Republican Poll-book Holder at age 15, the fact that I have raised nearly a quarter of a million dollars for conservative candidates and causes, the fact that I’ve already been working in this district door-to-door which will be critical toward the November election, keeping in mind I can work with folks from varying political perspectives from the Tea Party to Democrats, I already have established working relationships with a number of legislators, I have worked on or assisted nearly 20 campaigns over nearly as many years with approximately a 70% success rate, and much more. This particular race will require a seasoned turnkey campaigner considering how quickly that skill will be necessary come this fall.

If selected, I plan to do everything possible to protect the lives, liberties, and each individual person’s pursuit of happiness within the great State of Indiana and weigh each decision on the constitutional merits as the oath rightly dictates. There are a number of issues that are also near and dear to me as a small business owner like eliminating the business personal property tax which Governor Pence is aiming to do and that Suzanne had been surveying constituents about.

As we lead up to January 4th, I would certainly appreciate your prayers and I thank all of you who have made this possible, and particularly my wife in encouraging me to do this.

Sincerely,

Sean Selby

  1. Great news for the taxpayers of this district. Wow, we finally may have a conservative voice elected to District 78 State rep seat. Long time coming.

  2. Sean,

    We went to high school together and while our views could not be more opposed I wish you luck. I just have two questions: 1. If you succeed in eliminating the business personal property tax, how would you replace the revenue that our city and area of the state will lose? 2. Do you believe that RTW has been an effective measure in brining jobs to Indiana and if it hasn’t how long will you allow this law to stay on the books?

  3. It looks to me like the Southern Indiana GOP is fragmenting. This shattering is going to make this year’s primary for the “Bloody 8th” really bloody for their team.

  5. I know Sean and while we dont always agree on every issue, i know he will work hard to bring a balanced, principled, TRUE conservative perspective to all issues. I think he is going to make a fine state rep. I only hope all the Republican PCs grasp this opportunity to try something different and drag our Party back to a place we can build from.

    Good luck, Sean. If you win this caucus vote, I’ll help you all I can in the fall.

  6. I hope to God this young man stays away from Wayne Payke. I guarantee that he doesn’t need to take any of Wayne’s left wing political advice.

    Good luck Sean.

  7. Ralph Edwards :
    Help me big guy. Tell me what my “left wing political advice” is. I do not remember any.
