I've been behind lately in writing about the latest news on the 3rd Congressional District race here in Indiana; now to write about the changes.
First off, another individual threw his hat into the ring. A man from Goshen, Scott Welsh, announced his candidacy this past Tuesday. His plan, if elected, is to serve only one term in Congress, and his focus during that one term is on reducing spending across the board and tax reform, among other things.
The other news also came Tuesday with the announcement of Phil Troyer to withdraw from the race and focus on another special election, for State Representative in the 83rd District, which covers portions of Allen, Whitley and Noble counties.
Although I understand why Mr. Welsh is running to replace Mark Souder (as the Goshen News article I linked to notes), I'm not looking for a single-term Congressman. Nevertheless, I wish him the best in his efforts. As for Mr. Troyer, I also wish him the best in his newly focused efforts to become State Representative in the 83rd District. He's a good man who would've made a good Congressman, and he'll make a good State Representative, in my opinion.
