Teresa Kendall for State Representative Campaign calls for debate

Teresa Kendall, the Democratic candidate for Indiana House District 63, has officially called for a debate with her Republican opponent, Shane Lindauer, ahead of the upcoming November elections. In a letter sent to Lindauer, Kendall emphasized the importance of providing voters in Daviess, Dubois, Martin, and Pike Counties with an opportunity to hear from both candidates as they make their decision about who will represent them in the State Legislature.

In the letter, Kendall stated, “It is crucial that the voters of District 63 have access to as much information as possible to make a thoughtful and informed decision when they go to the polls.” She went on to express her belief that a public debate would allow both candidates to present their visions for the future of the district and discuss issues critical to Southern Indiana.

Kendall has made it clear that she is willing to accommodate Lindauer’s preferences for the debate, offering him the ability to choose both the location and the moderator. “I believe this gesture underscores the importance of ensuring a fair and balanced exchange of ideas,” Kendall said. The letter also outlined that Kendall is available for the debate at any time before October 18, 2024.

As the campaign heats up, Kendall sees the debate as a pivotal moment for the constituents to gain clarity on key issues. “This election is about who can best serve our district and bring real solutions to the challenges we face. Voters deserve to hear where we each stand,” Kendall said.

The Kendall for 63 Campaign is hopeful that Lindauer will accept the invitation, as such an event would allow both candidates to engage directly with the community and demonstrate their commitment to serving the district.
