Indiana House Speaker-in-Waiting Selection Disturbing
The selection of Todd Huston as the Indiana House Speaker-in-Waiting by unanimous vote is a disturbing move by the House Republican Caucus. Representative Huston has a record of voting against public education, working families, and rural Hoosiers. The Indianapolis area resident maintains a 25% rating by the Indiana Coalition for Public Education, a 25% rating from the Indiana AFL-CIO, and aggressively supported township consolidation bills that were opposed by Indiana Farm Bureau (a sign Huston does not support rural Hoosiers). This is the individual my opponent and others in the supermajority deem fit to control the legislation that makes it to a vote. The citizens of Pike, Spencer, and Warrick Counties deserve leaders who understand their daily lives and struggles. They deserve a Representative who will stand up to such a concerning selection for Speaker of the House. We must work to break the supermajority that continues to undermine public education, punish working families, and ignore rural Hoosiers. In 2020, I ask for your vote to be part of the solution that will support public education, protect workers, give rural Hoosiers a voice, and stand up for the rights of all Hoosiers.
