Dear Editor:

We need a trusted nurse and business owner in Congress!

I’m a 68-year-old resident of the 5th District of Indiana and a lifelong Hoosier. I’m also a 13-year veteran of the United States military.

Like many Americans, I’m concerned about the medical, economic and emotional crisis we are facing with the coronavirus. In these unprecedented times I’m seeing that we’re “represented” by a Congress that’s more focused on their political careers than serving the needs of the American people.

We now more than ever need Congress to work for us, not the other way around. This is why I’m supporting Beth Henderson to represent Indiana’s 5th Congressional District. Beth is not a career politician, but she is a registered nurse and successful businesswoman who understands what’s important to those of us living in the 5th District.

Unlike the lawyers and politicians in Washington, Beth truly knows what it means to care for her fellow Americans. Her background required her to have the ability to get things done in difficult situations – she won’t be tripped up by partisan bickering, and she won’t bow to political pressures. And Beth is even better in person than she is on paper. Beth’s kind heart shines through when you meet her; it’s undeniable that her only goal is to do what’s best for America and for the 5th District.

If you’re a resident of the 5th District, I hope you’ll join me in voting for Beth Henderson in the Republican primary.
