7 thoughts on “Meet the five Democrats running for Indy’s new state Senate seat

  1. “Bobby Kern, perennial office seeker” is some funny shizzle. None of the candidates have a real job, with one bragging that she won’t seek a real job. And we wonder why politics is a cesspool.

    1. Correction— the Principal has a real job, and based on that alone should be the only candidate anyone even considers.

    2. I was thinking the same thing, Chuck, scanning the article(s), looking for someone who was gainfully employed in a position that benefits the GDP. Rare in Democrat circles, isn’t it?

    3. Reading must not be your strong suit, dear Chuck.

      “Until early this year, Eason worked as an executive at The International Center in Indianapolis.” Doesn’t sound like a loser to me. And what business is it of yours if she has decided to not take on a regular job if she’s elected. Plenty of people that have regular jobs are there to advocate for their companies or industries. Oh, and maybe her husband is the breadwinner, and the family doesn’t need the income from a second job for her.

      Andrea Hunley is a principal at IPS Center for Inquiry School 2. Sounds like a real job to me.

      Kristin Jones is currently employed as the Indianapolis City-County councilor for District 16. Sounds like a real job to me.

      Bobby Kern is a part-time paralegal. Sounds like a real job to me.

      Karla Lopez-Owens is the director of community outreach for the Marion County Prosecutor’s Office. Sounds like a real job to me.

      And, Bob, please… Kindly provide some of your “own research” (haha) that it’s rare (?) for Democrats to be gainfully employed.

    4. Chuck. Get it together. Ashley left a really good job to focus on the race. Andrea is school principal…are you serious. And just what real job do you have??
