Democratic Mailer Endorses Libertarian Candidate For U.S. Senate

The Indiana Democratic Party is not seeking votes just for U.S. Senate candidate Joe Donnelly. They also want some to vote for the Libertarian candidate.

(Indianapolis, Ind.) - Indiana Democrats have sent out a campaign mailer endorsing somebody besides the party’s own candidate for Indiana’s U.S. Senate seat.

The mailer paid for by the Indiana Democratic Party compares Republican candidate Mike Braun to Libertarian candidate Lucy Brenton, painting Brenton as the better candidate on taxes and reducing government regulation.

The mailer makes no mention of Democratic candidate Joe Donnelly, the incumbent seeking re-election in the three-way race this fall.

Indiana Republican Party chairman Kyle Hupfer says Democrats are desperate to win and will do and say anything to beat Braun.

"This Democrat dirty trick is a desperation move, and shows that the momentum in this race is squarely in Mike Braun's corner," said Hupfer. "From last week's internal Braun polling memo to two more polls released in the last week, Hoosiers are making it clear that it's time for Democrat Joe Donnelly to go."

But if winning the November 6 election is the lone goal, the mailer could be effective. Brenton may be able to siphon enough votes from Braun to give Donnelly the edge. A CBS News poll released Sunday gives Braun a 46-to-43 percent advantage over Donnelly, with Brenton receiving three percent support.
