Valpo Attorney Runs For Governor As Independent
July 28, 2016 at 4:25 p.m.
Terry Boesch, Valparaiso, is running as an independent candidate for governor of Indiana.
Boesch, 34, admits he "was not a good student in high school."
But despite this, he is stressing the "ABCs of education reform" in his campaign.
Boesch believes he is "proof that education can change a person's life."
A once "distracted underachiever with wrong priorities," Boesch attended the University of Evansville and turned his focus from sports to grades and studying.
"I studied in England and clerked with a British solicitor (law) firm and read history and law at the British Parliament," Boesch said. "I graduated with honors, made the dean's list four times and was inducted into the National Political Science Honor Society."
Boesch also placed second in the state among college students at a debate held in Indianapolis.
Upon graduation from the University of Evansville, Boesch joined the Army and served in Georgia and Germany. He took evening classes at Troy State University in Alabama, earning a master's degree, and graduating with "high marks and the youngest in my class."
Boesch moved to Indiana, married his wife, Debbie, and earned another degree from Valparaiso University School of Law.
Boesch now operates his own law firm, which "concentrates on employment law and helps small businesses, some unions and many individuals with employment cases."
Boesch's campaign for governor focuses on what he believes to be the ABCs of Indiana school reform: accountability, basics and choice.
"I am responsible," Boesch said.
He believes these words need to be voiced much more in the home and in education.
Boesch also believes in teaching students the basics.
"Every student in this state, regardless of race or wealth, is entitled to be taught how to think, read, write, speak and count," he said.
Boesch also said choice and competition are important.
"Choice means competition, and competition means better schools."
Boesch is running independently so that he can focus his energy and time on the issues, not the "political game."
