Brad Ellsworth for Senate

Most political pundits, formulas and voters believe this race is out of Brad Ellsworth’s reach.

We believe he’s arriving on the scene just in time, and that’s why we’re throwing our endorsement his way.

When it comes to his voting record, Ellsworth is in stride with current Hoosier values. His votes for health care, the stimulus and for Wall Street reform only prove he is committed to pick this nation up from the ground floor.

Furthermore, Ellsworth has shown his Hoosier constituents he will not settle for anything less than what his voters deserve. His “no” vote for the cap-and-trade bill proves this point.

Public policy aside, the Democratic candidate snagged our support because of his personal background and values. Ellsworth is a man who understands how fast this country must progress as a nation. He has been a life-long Hoosier, and unlike his opponent, he has never voiced his desire to live in any other state but Indiana.

Finally, before becoming a congressman, Ellsworth made law enforcement his full-time position for over 25 years.

This is the complete opposite image than his opponent, who was a Senator-turned lobbyist.

Brad Ellsworth is a straight-shooting type of man who abides by his word, morals and constituents.
