Statement by Ken Alexander
“I’m thrilled to endorse Kelly Mitchell to be the next Congresswoman for Indiana’s 5th Congressional District. Strong partnerships between our local, state, and federal representatives is crucial to maintaining good conservative government. Kelly has the relationships and experience to maintain and enhance our strong working relationship with our federal partners in Washington.”
Statement by Cindy Noe
“I strongly endorse Kelly Mitchell for Congress because there is no candidate better prepared to make real progress toward getting our federal government’s spending under control. As Treasurer of State, Kelly has played a critical role in Indiana’s record of fiscal success, and I know she’ll put her skills to good use when she’s elected to represent Indiana’s 5th Congressional District.”
Statement by Paul Ayers
“As a businessman and retired President of the Hamilton County Council, I know fiscal responsibility is key to long-term strength. With the federal government racking up trillion-dollar deficits and a $23 trillion debt, we need a proven leader like Kelly Mitchell in Congress to address the out of control spending and ensure accountability for Hoosier taxpayers.”
Statement by David Abernathy
“As a finance professional, I see the huge positive impact Kelly Mitchell has made as Indiana’s Treasurer of State. As a GOP Precinct Committeeman, I have seen her commitment to engaging with grassroots advocates. Congress needs more leaders with a proven record of implementing conservative fiscal policy and a commitment to listening to the people they represent, which is why I’m proud to endorse Kelly to be our next member of Congress!”
In response, Mitchell made the following statement:
“I am honored and humbled to have the support of so many important leaders from across the 5th District. Just as I have done as State Treasurer, in Congress, I will be a strong voice for responsible fiscal policy and will work every day to make Indiana a better place to live, work, and raise a family.”
