Republican State Senator Jim Buck announced on Saturday, April 18 he continues to receive multiple endorsements in his campaign for reelection in State Senate District 21, which is composed of Tipton County and portions of Hamilton and Howard counties.

The new endorsements include:

Mitch Daniels
Former Indiana Governor

“Solid values, solid judgment, true man of conscience: we need more public servants like Jim Buck.”

Steve Dillinger
Hamilton County Commissioner

“This is a statement of support for Jim Buck for Senator. I have known Jim for many years, both as a friend and a professional colleague in my role as a County Commissioner for Hamilton County. He has always had the best interest of the folks he represents. I personally feel the ad campaign against him is despicable and I endorse Jim in his Campaign 100%. Jim has worked very hard, for many years, for the people of Indiana, and to see him treated with ads like I have seen on television recently, is very disappointing.”

Mike Karickhoff
State Representative, House District 30

“I’m excited to join the growing chorus of supporters for Senator Jim Buck. He is principled and understands how state government works best. He’s never going to be influenced by outside pressures, and he represents his constituencies well!”

Ed Simcox
Former Secretary of State

Senator Buck has been a conservative voice in the Indiana legislature over the years. He stands for low taxes, life for the unborn, and traditional values. He and Judy have worked tirelessly for Republican causes through the years. As a fellow conservative, Jim has my support in his campaign for reelection.

Jim Butcher
Former State Senator, Senate District 21

“I have known Senator Jim Buck for over 40 years. I have observed this man serve his constituents in ways and in a manner that shows his commitment to them and to good, conservative government. I strongly recommend, without reservation, that the 21st Senate District voters send State Senator Jim Buck back to the State Senate for four more productive years.”
