I am Barry Welsh amd I am the Democratic Candidate for United States Congress in Indiana’s 6th District. I am also a long time member of the Netroots Nation.
A quick update from the campaign:
We held the Indiana State Democratic Party Convention this past weeekend.
There are reports at most of the great Indiana blogs, including, but not limited too; Blue Indiana which I highlight and link because that page links other fine Indiana blogs and reports.
Our campaign had a good convention. We were at the hospitality rooms on Friday night and at the caucuses Saturday morning. I spoke at our congressional district caucus and then at the State Teachers meeting, Young Democrat Caucus, and The UAW. I don’t think there is any video.
Here is a short video interview by Left of Centerist Blogger Roger Rouse, before I went to the convention floor.
Just a reminder of who I am running against
We have a serious ground game, and now it is time to get aggressive with fundraising, and we need the help of every good Democrat across the country to allow us to continue to do what we have to do! ActBlue.
Let me leave you with some numbers:
