FORT WAYNE – Liz Brown announced Wednesday she is seeking to represent Indiana’s 3rd Congressional District in the U.S. House of Representatives. Brown, a Republican, who represents Indiana State Senate District 15, announced her run in front of family, friends and supporters at Connolly's Do It Best in Fort Wayne. The primary is May 3. Other Republican candidates who have announced they are seeking the seat are Jim Banks and Pam Galloway. According to a campaign press release, Brown has a long history of public service, having served in volunteer roles and on the Fort Wayne City Council. She and her husband of 32 years, Steve, raised their seven children in Fort Wayne. Brown is a registered civil and domestic mediator with her own mediation business. In the press release, Brown is quoted as saying, “I entered into public service after years of volunteer work, because I knew that at a local level and then at the state level, that we could lay a better foundation, a stronger foundation, so that our children and grandchildren could continue the self-made successes of our grandparents. I have applied my strong voice, a deep faith, and an immutable conviction to finding local and state level solutions. But today we are at a juncture in our government in Washington, D.C., where we need people, more than ever, who are not afraid to speak out in order to affirm that our constitutional democratic principles and our faith are not broken or wavering. Now is the time to reshape our economy and reaffirm our role as a leader on the global stage. I want to be your voice in Washington, and so I hope you will join me in that journey, as I am declaring, this day, that I am officially a candidate for the House of Representatives, for the 3rd Congressional District seat in Indiana.”
