Hayhurst Hopes To Unseat 3rd District U.S. Rep Souder
July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.
Tom Hayhurst said he is running for the third district Congressional seat to improve the present and future government of the United States.
"I have always had a deep feeling that I should run for office because I am someone who has a love for this country and worry about its future under the current administration," Hayhurst said.
He said his grandchildren have motivated him to run in the election and he wants to assure they live in a society that assures a promising future.
Hayhurst faces incumbent U.S. Rep. Mark Souder in the Nov. 7 race.
Hayhurst, Fort Wayne, has practiced medicine in Indiana for more than 30 years, is a Vietnam War Veteran and has served on the Fort Wayne City Council since 1996.
"From day one my campaign has been about two things and that has been drawing people together and transforming our hard work, hope and hometown values into a fresh start for the third district," Hayhurst said.
Hayhurst said he has focused his energies on issues he thinks matter to working families including affordable healthcare, good jobs, energy independence and fair treatment for veterans.
Hayhurst suggested the government should negotiate with Congress an affordable healthcare plan for all citizens.
He said if he were elected he would support federal government negotiations with drug companies to secure the highest-quality, lowest-cost medications for more than 41 million seniors on Medicare.
He also hopes to fight for all Hoosiers to have equal opportunities for jobs.
"I am committed to fighting for jobs for our blue collar workers," Hayhurst said.
He supports energy independence and an organized national plan that would encourage the United States to rely on its own energy resources.
"I can see railways being used in Kosciusko County for transportation and an automobile plant built where workers use their skills to build vehicles with better gas mileage," Hayhurst said.
He said he would fight to guarantee veterans receive the same kind of medical care offered to members of Congress, and fight to save inpatient beds at the Fort Wayne Veterans Administration.
Hayhurst encourages voters to vote Nov. 7.
"Citizens should encourage their neighbors to get out on election day and vote to allow their voices to be heard," Hayhurst said. [[In-content Ad]]
