US Senator Joe Donnelly is starting his re-election campaign with a kickoff event set for today in Anderson.
He is considered one of the most vulnerable Democratic senators on 2018 ballots after Indiana went for Donald Trump in 2016. That’s drawn U.S. Reps. Luke Messer and Todd Rokita into a nasty feud for the Republican nomination to challenge Donnelly. Both Republicans are labeling him a “Washington liberal,” citing issues such as his votes supporting President Obama’s 2010 health care overhaul.
Donnelly plans a weeklong RV tour with more than 30 stops around the state. As of now, no other Democrats have stepped forward to challenge him in a primary.
