Bloomington resident Shelli Yoder, a candidate for the Democratic nomination for Indiana’s 9th Congressional District seat, has received an endorsement from former 9th District Chairman, Mike Jones.
“I served as the 9th District Chairman from 1988-2011. I know what qualities Southern Indiana looks for in leaders. I had the privilege of serving with leaders like Lee Hamilton, Birch Bayh, Frank McCloskey, and Evan Bayh, leaders who truly wanted to make a difference in the lives of others,” said Jones. “This is why I am doing something that I have never done before and endorsing a candidate for Congress in the Primary. I believe that Shelli Yoder will be an excellent Congressman for the citizens of the 9th District. Shelli brings new and fresh ideas to the campaign. She will not be for “politics as usual” and will stand up for working men and women and our children across the district. Southern Indiana and our nation are crying out for new leaders with the vision to lead us in a new direction. I sincerely believe that Shelli Yoder is the right choice in 2012.”
Yoder’s key issues are creating jobs and expanding economic opportunity for all Hoosier families. Her plan includes increasing opportunities for worker training, funding for health research initiatives, and investing in infrastructure and green technologies. Shelli is one of five Democrats running in the 9th District race to unseat Todd Young this November. The Democratic Primary is May 8. A fundraiser for Yoder will be held this Sunday, March 25 from 2:00 pm to 4:00 pm at Rachael’s Café 300 E. 3rd St. in Bloomington, IN.
