Post-Primary Votes Release

These candidates represent the right mix of proven leadership and an inclusive vision for the future, along with fresh ideas to resolve our region’s most stubborn challenges.  Top of the list: affordable, quality healthcare, criminal justice and policing reform, and universal access to broadband.  “Last week’s riots demonstrated that we must do much more to pull our country out of its institutional racism if we’re to achieve the equal opportunity that American founding principles demand.”, says Edie Hardcastle, Chair of the Vanderburgh Co. Democratic Party.

Democrats also believe that the only way to lift the next generation of Hoosiers out of Indiana’s perennially low ranking in state educational achievement is to support innovation in, and full funding of, our public education system.  Robust public education is the only way to sustainably launch our youth into the post- Covid-19 economy, which Hardcastle notes will be based on rapid innovation in healthcare and science, agriculture and manufacturing — all increasingly based on renewable energy sources and cloud-based computing.

An exciting but challenging path lies before us.  The Democratic Party is working hard to make sure that Hoosiers elect a new generation of legislators who understand that the above priorities are essential to Indiana’s future.
