Camp is running for Congress, the press release reads, “to instill our good Hoosier values of honesty and integrity to the floor of the House of Representatives.

“Lori firmly believes that healthcare, especially reproductive healthcare, is a freedom that must be restored and protected at the national level. In addition, Lori will work in a bipartisan way to bring security and compassionate immigration reform to our southern border. Lori knows your freedom and security are your fundamental rights, and she will not play politics with your body and/or your safety.

“As a small business professional, Lori will continue working for Main Street, not Wall Street. Lori Camp is your next-door neighbor. Every single vote she casts will be for you. Her heart and soul is in the union backed middle class neighborhoods of North Central Indiana. She will represent you, not the billionaires.”
