I’m George Hornedo and I’m running for Congress because the old way isn’t working.

17 years of the same leadership—and too many families in Indy are still falling behind. It’s time for new energy. New urgency. New results.

Let’s build a better Indianapolis.

A lot of people are going to die from this
First, they said postponed; now the meeting is canceled. That means no flu shots next year.

“'It’s a six-month production cycle,' Dr. Offit said. 'So one can only assume that we’re not picking flu strains this year.'"

Fundamentally, that's a form of mass murder.

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.

I think what I’m saying is that I’m a Southern Black man who pulled himself from poverty to the Ivy League and in 8 years went from nearly homeless to running digital for some of the biggest politicians and I have had to fight for seats at tables others get offered for free.

A lot of people are shocked by the “points on the board” phrase - as was I - but it was also shocking how common I heard this and other game-type metaphors.

Many who are deeply disconnected from the harm do view and talk about it privately as a kind of sport. It is gross 🤢

The culture here makes it possible.

After Jan 6th I privately confronted Mace for lying about my story bc she too was terrified in her office.

I said as another assault survivor you know how harmful what you did is. Why? She said “whatever you know it’s a game, just points on the board”

Uhh no???

We need a real organizer and machine builder. Laser focused.

Yes, fundraising is crucial, but we need someone who can build the infrastructure for resources to be deployed effectively.

I want someone with a record of knowing how to WIN with working people and preserving our values. They exist!
What are you looking for in the next DNC chairperson, that can help us win in 2026 and beyond?
