Five Congressional Hopefuls In L'burg Thursday

(Lawrenceburg, Ind.) - Southeast Indiana tea party group We the Hoosiers will host five congressional candidates running in Indiana’s Sixth District Thursday night.

 

Tonight’s meeting is the final in a line of the group’s Pre-Primary Informed Voter events. It will be held at the Lawrenceburg Firehouse, 310 West Tate Street, beginning at 6:30.

 

Candidates appearing include Don Bates, John Hatter, Travis Hankins, Joe Van Wye, and Bill Frazier – all Republicans.
