GOP Senate candidate: ‘We must chart a new course’

Rep. Todd Young (R-Ind.) said Republican leadership is needed to move forward from the “failed policies” of President Obama and Hillary Clinton.

{mosads}”The failed policies of Barack Obama, Hillary Clinton, and Democrats in Congress have left many Hoosiers worse off. They feel less safe and secure; the prospects of getting a good education that leads to a good job are narrower; and the burdens of government regulation and Obamacare are choking families and small businesses,” he said in the weekly GOP address.

Young touted a plan to reduce college debt that takes the focus away from the federal Department of Education. And he denounced ObamaCare, calling for its repeal and legislation to undo its definition of full-time work at 30 hours a week and cut regulation.

Young also encouraged Republican leadership in American foreign policy.  

“For the last eight years, President Obama and Secretary Clinton have shrunk from the national stage, acquiescing to foreign powers and paying ransom to our enemies. Republicans want to America to be strong and engaged, not weak and disconnected,” he said.

Young is in a tight race for an Indiana Senate seat and is a tight race against former Gov. Evan Bayh (D). 

He urged Republicans to take action to reverse the damage Democrats have caused.

“I’m frustrated too, but it’s not enough to stew in our own frustration. We must act. We must be bold, courageous and decisive. And we must get America back on the path toward prosperity,” Young added.
