Jeff Larson and Manuel Maldonado are seeking the Republican nomination for state representative in District 10. The winner will face long-term incumbent Democrat Chuck Moseley, who is unopposed.
Both Larson and Maldonado have experience running for state office, Larson for state senator and Maldonado for state representative. Larson has served as a Porter County Council member, including as vice president, and as a township trustee.
“My main reason for running is because I want to be able to be a catalyst for the 10th District when it comes to small business, making it more of a business-friendly environment,” he said.Larson is concerned about suicide and drug use. “As a teacher, I had several students that committed suicide in my tenure, and I think of that security for our community awareness of the possible drug use that’s coming from outside our community,” he said.
“I feel like we’ve kind of run into a stagnant situation, kind of a brick wall, with the political parties,” Larson said. “I’ve never been a hardline party guy, but the problem with what we’ve got going on now is that our community is lacking in getting things accomplished because the controlling party downstate doesn’t really do business with the other side. You can see that on a national level, and you can see it now locally, that we’re having a lot of trouble working together.
