7 thoughts on “Brad Chambers brings business acumen to GOP bid for governor

  1. His lies need to stop. He DID NOT grow up on a small family farm outside of Thorntown. This is false information. I live in that area and it has been a topic that really infuriates us. The has been extensive research (reviewing all school yearbooks) and discussion between many people who have lived here their entire lives. He is NOT from the Thorntown area and did not grow up on a farm. Also he did not mow the grass for his neighbors. IBJ if you did a little research and read interviews of Chambers from the past. He and a friend started a business mowing the grass of rental units that his friend’s dad owned. Huge difference.

    1. It doesn’t say he gets up in Thorntown, it says he grew up in Indianapolis but spent time at his grandfathers farm ib Thorntown. That could have been on weekends or summers. It says he mowed neighbors grass, did you speak with all his neighbors in Indianapolis?

    2. Interesting that this article has been edited since my comment yesterday and now includes a typo:
      “Chambers, 59, grew up in Indianapolis but spent time time as a child on his grandfather’s small farm outside of Thorntown”

  2. Well if you are going to outlaw TikTok…then you need to outlaw Apple iPhones that are all made in China with Chinese Chips??? Is this a road we want to go down with a governor???? How about sponsoring a bill to repeal class basketball in Indiana???

  3. What I don’t understand is why the Merchants Bank of China is financing a fund that IEDC opened in Cayman Islands and received $750 million to buy companies and bring them to Indiana, where IEDC gets 20% of the shares. But the merchants bank share holders sued the Wang Xiang, the agent, and they’re looking for the money:

  4. Here’s a guy I know little about except he is the president of RDOOR. These are the guys that stepped on our neiborhood integrity by buying land next to my home and others for a homeless shelter in Indy. You want leadership like this?
    I’m 74 and put all my planned retirement in this.
