Former Marion County Prosecutor and candidate for Indiana’s 5th Congressional District Carl Brizzi released the following statement on Tuesday about Indiana’s May 5 primary election:
“With coronavirus spreading across the United States, several states have already altered their primary contests in response to growing concerns. I don’t want to do anything that puts Hoosiers at risk. As such, I am calling for the postponement of Indiana’s May 5 primary. Not an easy decision, but the safety of poll workers and voters takes precedence. Free and fair elections are the foundation of American democracy, we need to ensure that all Hoosiers are heard and are safe.”
