Hi! My name is Connor Elliott. I'm a Hoosier Democrat. I was a National Delegate to the DNC this year. I'm also turning 20 years old.
I don't like gifts, so I want to do something different this year. I want to raise some money for Indiana House Democrats.
Let's frame the modern political history of Indiana. I was born on October 28, 2004. Except for the few months until former Governor Kernan left office, I've had a Republican Governor. Except for 2006-2010, I've lived under a Republican trifecta. Except for 2004-2012, I've lived under a supermajority one-party rule in this state my entire life.
We've seen the results on our schools, the rights of fellow Hoosiers, and the lack of funding given to public services. They're crumbling.
So, for my birthday and for the next 20 years of my life, please do something to change the modern political history of Indiana. One-party rule is damaging to democracy.
