Kokomo, Indiana—Republican U.S. Senate candidate and small businessman Mark Hurt knocked Senator Joe Donnelly today for his no vote on the President’s historic tax reform package.
“Hoosiers were hoodwinked once again by the the affable Senator Joe Donnelly,” Hurt said. “The DNC ran ads this fall saying he went to Washington to work for you. It’s disingenuous at best.”
After publicly entertaining the measure for several months, the first-term Democrat was one of 46Â Democrats to vote against the $1.5 trillion tax relief bill. Donnelly is facing a contentious reelection battle in 2018.
“We need a Republican in that United States Senate seat next November,†Hurt said. “I am the one outsider in our primary race who can beat Senator Donnelly and help drain the swamp in Washington.”
