Profiles of Democratic Candidates for the 9th Congressional District

Four Democrats are seeking our party's nomination for Congress in the 9th District. The Corydon Republican printed answers to their candidate questionnaire this week. The winner will likely face two-term incumbent Todd Young, who is expected to win the Republican primary. The Harrison County Democratic Party does not endorse candidates in primary contests.

Here is a link to the article:

Each of the candidates also has either a facebook page or website, which you can access here: Bill Bailey, James R. McClure, J.S. Miller, Bill Thomas

One thing to remember is that while Harrison County is still in the 9th District, the Republican controlled legislature redrew the 9th District in 2011 and it may not be the district you are used to seeing. It now includes all of Brown, Clark, Floyd, Harrison, Jackson, Johnson, Lawrence, Monroe, Orange, and Washington Counties. Also in the district is the vast majority of Crawford County, about 2/3 of Morgan County, and about half of Scott County. Below is a map of the current 9th District.
