SHERIFF DAVE WEDDING ENDORSES RYAN HATFIELD FOR  INDIANA STATE REPRESENTATIVE, DISTRICT 77

Vanderburgh County Sheriff Dave Wedding this morning announced his support for Deputy Prosecutor Ryan Hatfield in the race for Indiana State Representative, District 77. 

Wedding endorsed Hatfield via a video message released on the Hatfield campaign’s Facebook page. Saying that Hatfield’s aggressive prosecution of sexual offenders has “made the community safer for everyone,” Wedding asked viewers to join him in voting for Hatfield in the May 3 Democrat primary. 

“I also support Ryan’s plan to invest more dollars into our public education system,” Wedding said. “85 percent of our juvenile offenders don’t read at their grade level. A vote for Ryan is a vote for the youth of our community.”

Hatfield, who is one of three Democrats running for the District 77 seat, said he was “honored” to receive Wedding’s endorsement.

“Sheriff Wedding is both a good man and a tremendous public servant,” Hatfield said.  “I’m excited to have him on our team as we work to build a stronger tomorrow for Indiana.”
