Zody condemns harassment of party candidate

Statewide — From a statement released late last week from Indiana Democratic Chair, John Zody: 

“The Indiana Democratic Party has become aware of disturbing comments on social media aimed at Sixth District Congressional candidate Jeannine Lee Lake.

In addition, the Democratic Party has been told of a disturbing package sent to the candidate by mail that contained materials of an accusatory and harassing nature. It should go without saying that everyone in politics should condemn attacks on candidates that have no place in our discourse, but it has become evident that not everyone believes this.

As such, we are making clear our condemnation of any attacks that are harassing to her or her candidacy, including the sharing of any personal information. We call on Congressman Pence and all GOP Party Officers in the Sixth Congressional District to join us in condemning behavior aimed at candidates personally.”
