Ellsworth to run for Senate
(Local News ~ 02/19/10)
WASHINGTON -- Citing the need to bring civility, common sense and problem-solving to Washington, Rep. Brad Ellsworth today announced he will seek the Democratic nomination for the U.S. Senate seat being vacated by Senator Evan Bayh. Before coming to Congress in 2007, Ellsworth was the Vanderburgh County sheriff. "After many conversations with Hoosiers this week, and with the love and support of my family, I have decided to run for the U.S. Senate," Ellsworth said. "The best years of my life are the more than two decades I spent in the local Sheriff's department. Sheriff is a job that comes down to protecting families from harm, helping folks solve their problems or resolve their disputes, and just being willing to put your fellow citizens' best interests ahead of your own. When I look at the U.S. Senate these days, I sure think they could use more folks with those same qualities. And that's something I hope I could bring to the U.S. Senate -- an independent voice to help Indiana through these tough economic times, and get things done for everyday folks who are really struggling."
