Dear Editor:
Once again, I have to object to the one-sided article by Fred Swift without a title over the article stating it is an opinion and not a news article. Fred seems to write these every once in a while without providing a full factual story.
He states “it would be helpful to elect a local resident to the position” in reference to the upcoming election for our Congressional district.
But all the names are Republican.
Now, Fred knows that Democrats live in Hamilton County and he fully knows that Ms. Dee Thornton has announced she is running for this seat. Dee happens to live in Carmel, and last time I looked it was still part of Hamilton County.
Then, Fred also left out a very important fact: Joe Donnelly actually carried the 5th District in 2018 so this district is very much in play and very well may – actually I think will – be won by a Democrat.
