Both of the candidates running in the May 7, 2024, Democratic primary election for Indiana’s 9th Congressional District — D. Liam Dorris (D) and Timothy Peck (D) — completed Ballotpedia’s Candidate Connection survey. These survey responses allow voters to hear directly from candidates about what motivates them to run for office.
Here are the candidates’ responses to the question: What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?
Dorris:
- “Advocating for Ethical Governance
- Advocating for Economic Justice
- Advocating Universal Healthcare”
Peck:
- “I am running to represent all Hoosiers in Indiana-9 – no matter if you are a Democrat, Republican, Libertarian, or Independent. … We need to shake loose the deadlock, and I intend to shine a beacon on how that can be done.
- I believe that every dollar we spend should be scrutinized and optimized. Every year, for example, the federal government spends $1.6 trillion dollars on healthcare. Billions of those dollars are wasted or misallocated … I will be a force in Congress to create a better healthcare system that we can all be proud of.
- I do not believe the government should regulate a woman’s reproductive health choices.”
