Baron Hill, 5-Time U.S. Representative for Indiana’s 9th District
“As a former Congressman, I know what it takes to get things done for Hoosiers. That’s why I’m supporting Andy Ruff for Ninth District Congress. He’s lived in Southern Indiana his whole life and has been getting things done as an elected leader in Bloomington for years. Andy offers the right skills and experience to move the Ninth District forward and understands the challenges facing Hoosier families. This election, I’m endorsing Andy Ruff for U.S. Congress.”
Dan Canon, Civil Rights Lawyer and 2018 Candidate to Represent Indiana’s 9th District
“Andy is by far the candidate best poised to win the general election and best suited to represent Hoosiers in Washington. He has demonstrated that throughout his campaign. Andy has continued to provide a positive voice on so many issues even through the shutdown, showing the kind of leadership and vision we need to deal with the unique challenges that the Midwest will face in the coming years. Andy has earned my trust and vote.”
Liz Watson, Executive Director of the Congressional Progressive Caucus and 2018 Democratic Nominee to Represent Indiana’s 9th District
“Andy Ruff is in this race because he knows people in Southern Indiana deserve better. He knows that affordable, guaranteed healthcare and education, living wages, and a livable planet are within reach, but only if we fight for them. His service on city council and as an educator have prepared him well to take our fight to Washington. Andy is someone we can count on, who won’t sell out Hoosiers for his own political gain. I wholeheartedly support Andy Ruff for Congress.”
Terry Goodin, State Representative (IN-66) and Former Leader of the House Democratic Caucus
