Alerding
The American Family Association of Indiana PAC announced Tuesday that it has endorsed Laura Alerding for State Representative in Indiana House District 29.
This Hamilton County district covering primarily the city of Noblesville became an open seat when incumbent State Representative Chuck Goodrich chose to run for Congress.
The May 7 Indiana Primary is a very important part of the election process and our civic duty. This year, Hoosier voters will have a long list of races to consider including candidates for president, U.S. Senator, Governor, U.S. Representative, State Representative, State Senator, and many local offices. The number of campaign television and radio ads, mailings, phone calls, events, and candidate efforts will become overwhelming to many voters.
Voters are looking for candidates who will tell them where they stand and then consistently adhere to those principles if they are nominated in May and then elected in November.
Laura Alerding currently serves as an elected Noblesville school board member and has served on the Hamilton East Library board.
“Laura has a proven pro-family record in standing up to protect children from sexually explicit materials that were not age-appropriate,” AFA-IN PAC President Micah Clark said. “Her efforts fit with the Republican agenda in the Indiana General Assembly where recent constituent surveys found overwhelming support for keeping explicit content away from minor children.”
In this current session of the state legislature, there were six separate House bills filed to protect young children from adult content. (More than 30 legislators signed on as authors or co-authors to these bills.) On Jan. 18, Senate Bill 17 requiring adult websites to have some kind of age verification system passed 44-1. It is expected to move through the House this month with similar strong support.
“Laura has a good record of political, educational, and business experience,” Clark said. “More importantly, she stood up to liberal attacks for her conservative, pro-family values. She did not waver from what was best for Hoosier families and children. The Indiana General Assembly needs more legislators who are not there just to be somebody, but ones like Laura Alerding who have already proven that they will stand for common sense principles.”
The AFA of Indiana Political Action Committee was formed in March 2006 to educate voters about candidates who embrace traditional values and issues that impact families, churches, and communities.
