Indiana's First Lady Maggie Kernan honored Kosciusko County Democrats Saturday, when Elaine Bell and Bob Espinosa entered the local hall of fame.

Kernan also presented Michelle Boxell the H. Dale Tucker Democrat of the Year Award.

More than 100 Democrats attended the annual dinner where the governor's wife was the guest speaker.

"My man Joe is the man with the plan," she said, outlining Gov. Kernan's Action Indiana five-part proposal to increase jobs, lower the cost of prescription drugs, decrease college costs, cut waste in government and support military families.

Kernan said her husband decided to run for election to continue his years of service. When the former lieutenant governor assumed the top state position after Frank O'Bannon's death, he initially said he would not seek the office of governor.

"Joe feels he can make a difference and feels a responsibility to serve the cities, state and county," she said. [[In-content Ad]]
