Interesting reference to the undesirability of being a political puppet. There is an alternative to both of these Republican Senate 23 candidates. I am the Democratic candidate.

Yes. I had a similar comment in an earlier thread. These Republican candidates won’t be our only options.

Side note - I’m wondering what the R support will look like in the general, if their super-funded challengers lose in the primaries. I assume there will be a lot of backpedaling.

I have been seeing TWO very annoying ads - the Deery one and the Alting one against his competitor in the primary. The Alting one (and I am aware of the other guy's background) comes across as low class and I would think a Senator would not have stooped that low to ok it.

The Deery one will not influence me as much as the connections each have. What is worse/better -Beckwith or Daniels?

Redistricting attempts are over and done with. Get over it and move on focusing on policies, not on getting back at a candidate.

This is just like the campaign literature and form letters we get from some of these people - no accountability and constant blame or wanting to "get even".

So if Turning Point USA is helping to fund political ads, why is our governor pushing for that organization to be facilitated in our school organizations. 🤦🏼‍♀️

I believe the voter registration is April 6, not April 8.

You’re correct. I’ll fix that. Thanks for flagging that.

Thanks, Dave. I just saw that same Hoosier Leadership for America anti-Deery ad on YouTube. Deery only addressed the China farmland one in his video. The three claims were:

Claim: Spencer Deery voted for higher property taxes via SB1 2025

Claim: Spencer Deery voted with Democrats to help the liberal squad on redistricting via SB1 2025

Claim: Spencer Deery voted to let China own our farmland via HB1183 2024

I am curious how he would answer the other two claims.

The race is heating up.
