Dr. David Orentlicher announced today that he is officially filing his candidacy for the U.S. House of Representatives in Indiana’s 8th District.
The Democrat is hoping to unseat current GOP Congressman Dr. Larry Buchson
Orentlicher is an educator, physician, attorney, and former three-term member of the Indiana House of Representatives. He has practiced both medicine and law, and he teaches at Indiana University School of Medicine in Terre Haute, IU School of Medicine in Indianapolis, and IU Robert H. McKinney School of Law.
In his announcement he says too many are losing faith in America and we must restore the power of the American Dream and rekindle the idea that if you work hard and play by the rules, you can provide a good life for your family and a better future for your children.
He says while in the state legislature he worked hard to solve the State’s serious problems. He says he helped to pass laws to stimulate job growth, improve access to health care, and protect children from abuse and neglect. He says he’ll work just as hard to solve national problems.
