As the Democratic nominee for Indiana’s 17th Senate District, I have had the pleasure of meeting and speaking with several people from around the district, your constituents. As the election draws near, people are eager to learn where we stand on policies and our views on how to best represent district 17 in the statehouse. As I knock on doors and make calls I consistently hear two questions: “Gary, do you believe racism is real?” and “Will there be a debate?”

I’m writing to extend the invitation to join me in a series of debates around the district, ideally four debates, one in each county. I believe our fellow Hoosiers deserve the opportunity to hear from us in order to make an informed decision this November. If you accept, please respond at your earliest convenience so we may determine a schedule and terms agreeable to both campaigns.

Sincerely

Gary Snyder
Democratic nominee for Indiana State Senate District 17
