As Indiana continues to navigate the complexities of reopening the state to restore the economy, Republican candidate for Congress, Beth Henderson, has been personally impacted by this terrible virus.

Over the past few weeks, Beth Henderson has personally watched friends, colleagues and now family struggle with the wrath of COVID-19.

“My physician had it, my Christian spiritual advisor and his wife suffered through it and he lost his mother to it.” Henderson went on to say, “Watching friends and colleagues struggle with the wrath of COVID-19 is gut-wrenching. Now this week, our 25-year-old daughter tested positive for COVID-19. She is an active young lady working as a TV weather anchor in Champaign, Illinois. As her mother, I am hoping and praying for the best, but I am very concerned.”

“China must be held accountable for their role in our nation’s health and economic crisis. The United States must eliminate our dependence on China,” Henderson said. “Currently 95 percent of our country’s medications and supplies are manufactured in China. American’s need to insist on a return to Made in the USA standards.”

“I am a registered nurse and a proud businesswoman but first and foremost, I am a mother,” said Henderson. “My protective motherly instincts have kicked in and I’m on a mission for Indiana’s 5th District, our state and our nation.  We can do better for the people of this country and we must hold China accountable.” Click here to watch Beth’s COVID-19 message.

Henderson has proudly lived and worked in Indiana’s 5th District since 1990. She is a successful business owner, registered nurse, healthcare advocate, farmer, job creator and lifelong Republican who says she understands the needs of Hoosiers. For more information, visit bethforindiana.com.
