Packer Supports John Hurley for State Representative

Back to Campaign Updates

21 May 2020

​John Hurley is your Democratic candidate for State Representative. It is about time we have a representative from Spencer County. It is time we have a representative that cares about issues that ACTUALLY matter. Too often we are entrenched in our own opinions and we lose sight of what is truly happening in our Statehouse. Education is a top budget item, John Hurley is a Career and Technical Educator who understands education and what it takes for our state to truly support our kids. Workforce and Labor Development legislation is one of the highest legislative priorities in our state, now more than ever. John Hurley has experience with training, incorporating necessary job skills, and attracting businesses to our local programs. Agriculture is another big-ticket item regarding legislation at our statehouse, and of all the candidates we have for state representative John is the ONLY candidate who has hands-on experience with agriculture. He grew up farming tobacco, received his degree and professional licensing in agriculture education, is a member of Farm Bureau, currently resides on his family’s farm, and has experience working for the Warrick County Superior Ag CO-OP and the Spencer County Soil and Water Conservation District. John Hurley is running on issues that impact Spencer County citizens on a daily basis. He is one of our own and it’s time we finally put one of our own in the statehouse.
