Greenfield, IN – Hamilton County businessman Brose McVey, candidate for Congress in Indiana’s 5th district, is winning support from key community leaders in Hancock County in his bid to win the primary election next May.  McVey was in Greenfield yesterday evening to meet with supporters who are encouraging him in the long fight.

“It is time that we expect more visibility and attention from our leaders in Washington,” said former Hancock County Sheriff Nick Gulling. “I have no doubt that we’ll get more from Brose McVey and that he’ll fight for the people of Hancock County.”
In addition to Gulling, Republican candidate McVey is winning support from a wide variety of Greenfield-area community leaders.  The list includes prominent business people and those who’ve served honorably in public service, including Hancock County Councilmen Jim Shelby, Tom Roney, and Dick Pasco. Additionally, former Hancock County Councilman Walt Waitt and Commissioner Brian Kleiman have agreed to serve as county co-chairs of the McVey campaign.

“It is truly an honor to have the support of these influential leaders from Hancock County.  As I’ve met with people in Greenfield, Fortville, and New Palestine, I’ve learned that many are disheartened with their current representation in Congress.  They feel disconnected and want someone who is fully engaged with the needs of Hancock County.  I intend to be that representative,” McVey stated.

Also running for the Republican nomination in the 5th district primary are long-time Congressman Dan Burton, former Indianapolis Coroner John McGoff, Indianapolis State Representative Mike Murphy, and Indianapolis lobbyist Luke Messer.
