I have written before about the Indiana State Senate District 31 race that is being watched throughout the state.  Republican incumbent Senator Kyle Walker is facing Democrat Jocelyn Vare.  My mailbox has been full of direct mailings from both candidates.

It seems like Walker is all over television these days with a larger campaign war chest compared to Vare.

One thing Walker touts regularly is the list of endorsements he has amassed.  As an incumbent, that is understandable, but even for someone running as a sitting Senator, he has gained a number of them.

The latest is from the Hamilton County Professional Fire Fighters Local 4416 and the firefighters in Indianapolis as well.  In his latest news release, Walker’s campaign has listed a total of 20 organizations backing his re-election campaign.

Vare also has some endorsements, including the American Federation of Teachers (AFT) in Indiana and former Indiana State Schools Superintendent Dr. Jennifer McCormick.

There has been no public polling released, other than one early in the campaign which showed the candidates statistically tied with a lot of undecided voters at that stage.

This is a newly-drawn district including Fishers and a portion of Lawrence Township in Marion County.

Both candidates and their campaign teams have been out talking with voters, which is always a good thing.  Let’s see what the voters say once the ballots are counted
