Sanders, a West Lafayette City Council member and Purdue professor, lost to Republican Spencer Deery in 2022 in the sprawling Indiana Senate District 23.
It has been a long time since I voted with pleasure. I will vote with pleasure for Spencer Deery over Paula Copenhaver. He showed genuine conservatism and leadership in opposing a norm-shattering mid-decade redistricting; conservatism will always get my vote over Trumpist populism.
Mr. Deery did the noble thing in openly opposing redistricting. Mr. Sanders is a knowledgeable and passionate pugilist when it comes to transparency in government. In this recent period where our national and state politics have gone off the rails, I would love to see these two debate on how they would lead a necessary reset.
I have always appreciated the work David Sanders does to help keep the government open, accountable, and transparent. He would make a great District 23 Senator.
Myself, and others, are looking forward to the campaign.
David Sanders is an authentic representative in support of more government and institutional transparency, more support for public education,and real concern for Indiana's environment. He is fearless, determined and what the Indiana Senate especially needs. Meanwhile the Republican primary will get very nasty with Micah Beckwith's involvement. Deery is a good man, but the Indiana Republican Party is no friend to good local government. Governor Braun is one of the poorest governors Hoosier voters have ever mistakenly put in office.
If Sanders was as good of a politician as he and others think; wouldn't he have been elected to the Senate or House by now instead of getting defeated each election?
He has really only succeeded in annoying President Daniels and the Board of Trustees during Daniels' tenure but had zero measurable victories as member of the University Senate.

A choice between a ferret and a rabid ferret is clear.
I'll be joining you, albeit with duty in mind. We need to restore the loyal opposition.
If Copenhaver has Beckwith's backing, that's all we need to know to oppose her.

So: Beckwith supports Sanders
