Campaigns enter final days; Democrats energized

From the Floyd County Democratic Party

As the campaigns for federal, state, and local office reach the final stretch, Democrats are energized to make the final push for victory and are ready to lead our county and nation to greater prosperity.

In just one week, Floyd County has been visited by luminaries such as former Congressman Lee Hamilton, former Senator Birch Bayh, and Senator Evan Bayh. Our Congressional candidate, Baron Hill attended each event featuring these statements as their special guest and their message was unified - "Floyd County and Southern Indiana need Baron Hill."

Independents are also spreading the word. This morning, the Louisville Courier-Journal "enthusiastically" endorsed Baron Hill. (Full article - click here)

Floyd County has other candidates, however, that also need your support. Randy Stumler is working hard to be the next County Commissioner, bringing experience, fiscal responsibility, and strong family values to the position. Darrell Mills, Floyd County's next Sheriff, wants to make our community secure and has been endorsed by the Fraternal Order of Police as well as many of our community's officers. Lee Cotner, running for Prosecutor, is a life long resident of Floyd County and wants to ensure that the Prosecutor's office is run fairly and focuses on a platform of reducing truancy, enforcing child support against deadbeat parents, hard enforcement against violent offenders, and better fiscal management of the office.

These are just some of the examples of our qualified candidates running to represent Floyd County (For a complete list of Democratic Candidates, check out our sample ballot.)
