Brandt Hershman took office in 2000. At that time Indiana was ranked 23rd in per median income. In 2010 Indiana was ranked 36th . Indiana dropped 13.6% in income loss. That gave us the dubious distinction of the 2nd largest loss in income of all states http://www.stats.indiana.edu/sip/inc/inc1_18.html.
In the year 2000 when Hershman took office the poverty rate among Hoosiers was 7.7 % . In the year 2010 it skyrocketed to 16.2 %. 1,035,000 Hoosiers live in poverty !! http://www.incap.org/documents/iiwf/2011/CPS%20Data%20Release%209-13-11.pdf
But for Indiana children the poverty rate is an unbelievable 26.3%. . 1/4 of Hoosier children live in poverty! Think about how many Indiana children will go to bed hungry tonight. http://www.theindychannel.com/money/29169627/detail.html.
Brandt Hershman and his out of state interests are destroying the middle class of Indiana. http://www.sourcewatch.org/index.php?title=ALEC_Politicians
Voters of the 7th district haven't we had about enough of this kind of leadership? Isn't it time to send a new set of eyes and a far different perspective to the Statehouse. Please lets change the status quo and send one of our own to represent the working class. Get mad and take the Statehouse back. Vote this career politician out! Vote Thompson to save the middle class !!
