Donnelly Loses Re-election Bid To Braun
Donnelly Loses Re-election Bid To Braun
By Shelby Mullis
TheStatehouseFile.com
INDIANAPOLIS—What has been called the nation’s nastiest and costliest Senate race is over, and Republican Mike Braun will take incumbent Democrat Joe Donnelly’s place in the United States Senate.
Donnelly conceded to Braun in Indiana’s high-stakes Senate race around 9:30 p.m. Tuesday after trailing behind his Republican challenger as soon as polling stations closed at 6 p.m.
Donnelly has represented Indiana in the Senate since 2012 when he beat Republican Richard Mourdock from the Tea Party wing of the GOP with just a five-point lead — a stunning upset for the Republican Party.
With 53 percent of precincts reported, Braun was leading with 54 percent of the vote to 42 percent when Donnelly offered his concession speech. Libertarian Lucy Brenton, who staked her claim as the spoiler in the race, trailed at 4 percent of the vote.
Several media outlets called Braun’s victory early Tuesday night, including ABC News at 8:42 p.m. with fewer than 50 percent of precincts reporting.
“Just like any competition, you fight hard,†Braun said during his victory speech Tuesday. “You want to win? You’ve got to make your case. We did it.â€
Nancy Paul of New Castle said she hopes Braun, “as an outsider,†will actually follow-through — not just be a “smooth-talking politician.â€
“I think it’s a good sign for the Republican party, and I think a lot of it’s the Trump effect,†Paul said.
The former state representative primarily self-funded his campaign, which started in August 2017, with more than $10 million of the $16 million raised since last July coming from personal loans. He ran his campaign on the premise of his “political outsider†status and real-world experience.
Donnelly sold himself on the basis that he has voted with President Donald Trump most of the time, specifically when his actions align with Hoosier values. He thanked Hoosiers for letting him serve the state in Washington for 12 years.
“I end this in a way that I’ve been filled up so much more by you, that you’ve given me so much,†Donnelly said Tuesday night.
Genene Kambes, a retired school teacher, said she’s disappointed in the results.
“I thought the Donnelly and Braun election would be closer,†Kambes said.
Braun and Donnelly both have taken their fair share of shots at each other during this election season through endless television, radio and internet ads.
Braun accused Donnelly of being just another politician trying to keep his job at all costs while the incumbent portrayed the challenger as promoting health care and tax policies that hurt average Hoosiers. Meanwhile, Donnelly criticized Braun for his company’s high health care deductibles.
He also attacked Braun for supporting a lawsuit to overturn the Affordable Care Act, saying that would allow insurance companies to deny coverage to people with pre-existing conditions.
“We need to make sure we work to bring our country together than to divide it; to make sure every American has a chance,†Donnelly said.

HATFIELD PULLS OFF MAJOR UPSET IN COUNTY COMMISSIONERS RACE
HATFIELD PULLS OFF MAJOR UPSET IN COUNTY COMMISSIONERS RACE
Democrat Jeff Hatfield took on the Governor, Lieutenant Governor, Mayor of Evansville, seemly every elected Republican official in Vanderburgh County to pull one of the biggest political upsets in years.
Because of this almost impossible political achievement, the Vanderburgh County’s Democratic Party will soon hold two of the three of the County Commissioners positions.
Mr. Hatfield defeated Mike Duckworth by only 219 votes. Mr. Hatfield received 50.19Â percent of the votes cast in yesterdays election.
Mr. Hatfield put together an impressive campaign committee. He good people and communications skills proved to a big plus during his campaign. His finance committee did an amazing job in raising twice more money than his opponent in the campaign. His door-to-door campaign was very very effective in generating additional interest in his campaign.
Bottom line, the message that he is very conservative and coupled with the fact he a  successful businessman resonated with the voters.
Mr. Hatfield promised that he will govern in a non-partisan manner while using his good business skills and conservative values.
Deaconess Heart Hospital Receives Five Star Rating
Deaconess Heart Hospital Receives Five Star Rating
NOVEMBER 6TH, 2018 MITCH ANGLE EVANSVILLE, INDIANA
The Heart Hospital at Deaconess Gateway is five star rated for Pacemaker Procedures and Carotid Surgery outcomes.
These results are according to a study released by HealthGrades, the leading online resource for comprehensive information about physicians and hospitals.
A 5-star rating indicates that The Heart Hospital at Deaconess Gateway’s clinical outcomes are statistically significantly better than expected when treating the condition or performing the procedure being evaluated.
Additionally, from 2015 through 2017, patients having Cardiac Pacemaker Implants in hospitals with five stars have, on average, a 57% lower risk of experiencing a complication while in the hospital than if they were treated in hospitals with 1 star. Similarly, patients having Cardiac Pacemaker Implants in hospitals with one star are, on average, 2.3 times more likely to experience one or more complications than if they were treated in hospitals with 5 stars.
“As the region’s only hospital specifically dedicated to heart care, with care provided by the most experienced group of cardiac physicians, exceptional quality in cardiovascular care is our highest priority,†said Becky Malotte, Executive Director of Deaconess Cardiovascular Services and Deaconess Heart Group.
Every year, Healthgrades evaluates hospital performance at almost 4,500 hospitals nationwide for 32 of the most common inpatient procedures and conditions, as well as tracking outcomes in appendectomy and bariatric surgery using all-payer data provided by 15 states and the District of Columbia

USI Releases Statement in Regards to Controversial Fliers
NOVEMBER 7TH, 2018 MITCH ANGLE EVANSVILLE, INDIANA
USI President Ronald S. Rochon has issued a statement addressing the controversial fliers that have been left on vehicles in the university’s parking lot.
The full statement can be read below:
“It has come to my attention that three weeks ago, and for a second time this week, members of our campus community have returned to their vehicles, parked in campus parking lots, to find unwanted, inflammatory flyers on their windshields.
The University of Southern Indiana considers freedom of inquiry and discussion as essential to a student’s educational development. But, leaflets and materials that may violate the law and constitute a genuine threat of unlawful harassment will not be tolerated. This is an appropriate time to remind the community of our stated mission for this institution, which is as follows: USI is an engaged learning community advancing education and knowledge, enhancing civic and cultural awareness and fostering partnerships through comprehensive outreach programs. We prepare individuals to live wisely in a diverse and global community.
The University greatly values civility and maintaining a climate of mutual respect among all of our members. I am asking everyone to consider the well-being of your neighbor. Take time to appreciate those traits and characteristics which make us different, but embrace and support the vast qualities that bind us together and make us more alike than unalike.â€
According to the University of Southern Indiana crime logs, the incident is being labeled as a hate crime.
Students say although they feel safe, they still find the incident concerning.
