BREAKING NEWS: JOHNNY KINCAID TO RUN FOR STATE REPRESENTATIVE, DISTRICT #77

JOHNNY KINCAID TO RUN FOR STATE REPRESENTATIVE, DISTRICT #77 IN REPUBLICAN PRIMARY

Long time Evansville radio personality Johnny Kincaid has announced his intentions to run for Sate Representative in District 77 in the Republican primary.

Here Is The Text Of His Announcement:

Its always been about relationships for me.

Since the age of 15 I’ve been in the media. Hearing and sharing your stories, participating in local events and supporting area charities, and when needed – alerting the public to any dangerous situations that might affect their safety.

This community is more than just a place I choose to live, it is my home. My heart.

I recently came across a quote by one of my favorite men, Abraham Lincoln, that said, “… and that government of the people, by the people, for the people shall not perish from the earth.” Soon after I read a similar quote from Daniel Webster, “It is sir, the people’s government made for the people, by the people, and answerable to the people…”

I am not politically “connected,” nor do I pretend to be one of the city’s elite. However, I do believe in the principle so eloquently stated by Lincoln and Webster above. Through years of community involvement, and listening to my community and telling their stories, I do know my neighbors and friends. I believe it is time for District #77 to be represented by someone who is willing to speak up on their behalf at the statehouse for their concerns and issues that matter to us here in Evansville.

I want to be the voice of the people in my community and protect and represent what my neighbors and my community need.

I am running for State Representative District 77.

As a newcomer, I am asking for help. For anyone who would like to join my campaign committee please contact me at YOURVOICEDISTRICT77@GMAIL.COM

I am ready to be your voice.
Johnny Kincaid
