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.

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.

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???
