This is a difficult message to write. This morning I called my primary competitor, Pat Hackett, to congratulate her on securing the Democratic nomination to become the next Congresswoman for Indiana’s 2nd District, and offered her my full support and endorsement.

George Floyd. Say his name

On May 25, 2020—on Memorial Day—when we were remembering those who gave their lives in service of this country, a Minneapolis police officer kneeled on the neck of George Floyd for at least five minutes, killing him. Three other officers, all of them sworn to serve and protect the citizens of Minneapolis, participated in this killing. Minneapolis Mayor Jacob Frey has asked why the officer who killed George Floyd has not been charged. We should all be asking that question, about every officer involved.
