More than comparing flashy ads, the latest scandals or snappy sound bites, elections are questions of character and conviction. As voters head to the polls today, the choice for Indiana’s Eighth District Congressional race is clear: conservative cancer surgeon Richard Moss.

November 2016 was a monumental moment for Republicans. Disenfranchised voters of every walk of life rightly rallied to “Drain the Swamp,” overcoming the seemingly impossible and electing Donald J. Trump to the White House.

Yet, because of the recalcitrant leadership in Washington, key promises made to these forgotten men and women have not been kept. After eight years, incumbent and full-time beltway resident Larry Bucshon has become part of the problem.

Today, voters have a solution in Dr. Richard Moss.

Moss is a proven conservative with a deep understanding of the Constitution, advocating for the timeless vision of our Founders: an effective, limited government and a prosperous, free people.

Hoosiers, like all Americans, deserve honest, driven and responsible leaders. Dr. Richard Moss has the necessary experience, clear grit and raw talent to be a champion for Hoosiers of all walks of life. More, his priceless experiences in healthcare and business are desperately needed in a Congress teeming with lawyers and political insiders.

Committed to accountability and access, Moss traveled to every corner of Indiana’s Eighth District this year, listening to the unique struggles of hardworking Hoosiers and laying out an optimistic agenda for Indiana families.

From the beginning, Dr. Richard Moss themed his campaign around “putting Hoosiers first.” Today, we each have the opportunity to do just that.

Amy Word-Smith headed up the initiative which was funded through a community crowdsourcing grant. The trolley will connect Franklin Street, Main Street, Haynie’s Corner, and the Waterfront District. Smith says that’s just the beginning of how the city will benefit from the new service.

Word-Smith says, “We had to have a way for people to easily travel from Franklin Street to Main Street to Haynie’s Corner to the Waterfront District. And some kind of transportation thing, whatever that was, and we settled on this great old school trolley as you can see.”

Yearly passes may be purchased for $25 at Lamasco Bar and Grill.
