Vote for 'neighborly' Joe Donnelly

·

For more than a decade, I have coached a charity baseball team of which United States Senator Joe Donnelly (D-Ind.) has been a starting player. We are close personal friends who share insights, laughter and candor during our baseball workouts. We sheltered in place on the “other” congressional practice baseball field one early morning in 2017 when an assassin attacked our opposing team, seriously wounding GOP Representative Steve Scalise (La.-01).  I know Joe Donnelly. Re-electing Donnelly next Tuesday will not only be best for Hoosiers, it will maintain an already solid building block of bipartisanship Americans are clamoring for in Washington.
