Dear Editor,
As a fellow conservative Republican female senator, State Senator Victoria Spartz and I found common ground immediately.
There are not many women in the Indiana Senate, and I would suggest that “no shrinking violets allowed” would be a good motto for any woman entering politics. It is not about “leaning in” as much as it is about confidently taking a seat at the table.
Victoria took a seat at the table on day one, and now she deserves the opportunity to represent Indiana in Congress.
Victoria does not take the privilege of being an American lightly, with all the opportunities afforded to us. She advocates for limited government and lower taxes in order to preserve those opportunities for her daughters and the next generation. She knows the value of private innovation and hard work. Her legislation in the Indiana Senate provides opportunities for the many Hoosier women who are single heads of households to achieve and succeed.
I always appreciate how Victoria can stand her ground and work towards policy goals, while not shying away from needed compromise and open communication with voters in her district.
It has been an honor to work with Victoria and I will miss her intelligence and diligence in the Senate. But as our nation is at a crossroads between law and order versus socialism and chaos, we need her in D.C. now more than ever.
Liz Brown
State Senator, District 15
How much in federal farm subsidies has the family of this advocate “for limited-government and lower taxes” received? If she is truly small government/low taxes, why have various Spartz farm entities accepted and benefitted from our tax dollars through the years? Small farms can’t compete with the likes of the Spartzes. (This comment is in honor of my late Great Uncle Leslie Burris, whose Farmer City, Illinois farmhouse is now tilled under.)
