IN-05: If elected, Hale plans to work in bipartisan way to resolve issues
ANDERSON — The nation has learned lessons this year from the pandemic and the Black Lives Matter movement, according to congressional candidate Christina Hale.
Lawmakers, she said, should work in the same direction.
Hale was in Anderson on Wednesday to meet with business leaders. She spoke to members of One Nation Indivisible Madison County at Mounds State Park.
“The issues are not Republican or Democrat, they are community issues,” Hale said. “When I served in the Indiana House I passed 60 bills with bipartisan support.”
Hale, a Democrat, is running against Republican Victoria Spartz in November for the seat that will be left open by incumbent Republican Susan Brooks, who decided not to seek re-election.
No stranger to tough runs for elective office, Hale believes she’s in a position to win the 5th Congressional District race.
In 2012, she defeated incumbent Republican Cindy Noe by 51 votes for a seat in the Indiana House.
“If elected, I’m determined to look for people on the other side of the aisle,” she said. “Not one party has all the good ideas.”
Concerning the coronavirus pandemic, Hale said it’s easy to prepare and react to a pandemic that is coming.
