The committee to elect David Kolbe for state representative, District 22, announced he has received the endorsement of U.S. Sen. Joe Donnelly. “David Kolbe has served his community on issues ... such as education and housing, and he will use this experience to represent the Hoosiers of District 22,” the endorsement states. “I support David’s effort to get to the Statehouse because he has pledged to work with both sides to get things done for Indiana families.” Kolbe said “I thank Sen. Donnelly for his endorsement. My full support of our public education system will be a matter of highest priority should I be elected to this office. I support the work and sacrifices of our fine teachers, administrators and dedicated support staff on behalf of the children of our district. I will also endeavor to ensure that Hoosiers in our district have access to affordable housing and good jobs. Accomplishing these goals is a bi-partisan effort and requires reaching across the aisle for the common good. I have consistently stated during the course of this campaign that we must face our challenges by working together for the best interests of the district.”
