Wabash, IN- Small businessman Brose McVey announced eight new supporters for his Congressional campaign – all past and current public officials in Wabash County.  Supporters include County Commissioners Barry Eppley and Scott Givens, County Councilmen Randy Curless, Daryl Evans, Ted Little, and Gary Nose, former Wabash County Councilman Dean Eppley, and former Wabash County Metropolitan School District Board Member Jeff Dawes.

“I am supporting Brose McVey because he is the only candidate running that runs a small business and understands what it’s like to make a payroll and sustain jobs in this economy. We need someone with that background in Washington,” said Wabash County Commissioner Scott Givens.

Wabash County Commissioner Barry Eppley said, “I have known Brose McVey for years and know his passion for protecting and advancing Hoosier agriculture. Wabash County needs an advocate in Washington that knows the difference between a hay baler and a haymaker.”

“I am humbled to have the support of these influential leaders from Wabash County,” McVey stated. “These fine public servants have concluded that I am the best candidate to represent the values of Wabash County in Washington. I am thankful for their support and look forward to working with these leaders to improve Northern Indiana.”
The list of McVey campaign supporters is growing quickly.  Previously, McVey has won support from State Senator Beverly Gard, former Hancock County Sheriff and State Representative Nick Gulling, former Hancock County Councilman Walt Waitt, former Hancock County Commissioner Brian Kleiman, current Hancock County Councilmen Jim Shelby, Tom Roney, and Dick Pasco, Huntington County Council President John Hacker, Hamilton County Councilmen Meredith Carter and John Hiatt, Hamilton County Assessor Debbie Folkerts, Hamilton County Auditor Dawn Coverdale, Hamilton County Recorder Jennifer Hayden, Hamilton County Surveyor Kent Ward, Hamilton County Treasurer Kim Good, Noblesville Common Council President Greg O’Connor, and Carmel City Councilman John Accetturo.
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.
