Your State Democratic Candidates
U.S. Representative for Indiana District 3
Kelly Thompson
Kelly Thompson is a Hoosier wife, mother, business owner and non-profit founder, dedicated to fighting for working families. Fair wages, better tax structure, housing and healthcare that works for all of us are her top priorities.
Our fight is not with each other living pay check to paycheck, it is with the very few keeping the rest of us from living out the American Dream.
Judy Rowe
Judy Rowe is running for Indiana House District 51 because Northeast Indiana deserves a representative who will fight for the people who live here. A longtime local business owner, Realtor, community volunteer and public servant, Judy believes Statehouse decisions should make life more affordable--not shift more costs onto families and communities. She'll fight for strong public schools, affordable child care and healthcare, reliable utilities, protection of our lakes and lands, and a stronger voice for local communities. Judy is ready to bring bold action--and real representation--to District 51.
State Representative District 52
Joseph Trost
Joseph Trost is a concrete construction worker by trade. He understands the value of hard work and is building a campaign based in transparency, community, generosity, and loyalty.
My commitment to Hoosiers:
Increased financial stability for working-class families
Affordable and accessible healthcare
Protecting Hoosier land and water from corporate and data center impacts
