The Indy Defenders of Liberty West, a local tea party with members in west Indianapolis, Danville, Brownsburg, and Avon, will host a candidate forum for the public to meet the Republican U.S. House District 4 candidates from 1 to 4 p.m. April 10 at the Hendricks County 4-H Fairgrounds and Conference Complex in Danville.
“We wanted to provide an opportunity for the community to learn about the candidates,” said tea party volunteer Robert Storm. “Since Representative Steve Buyer has said he will step down, the field of candidates has become quite large. This is a great chance to meet the candidates face to face to help you decide how to cast your vote in the primary.”
Candidates will be available from 1-2 p.m. The formal program will begin at 2 p.m., during which each candidate will have a chance to make a statement and answer one or two questions. After the program, candidates will again be available to speak to those attending.
“Overwhelmingly, our members are trying to learn more about the Republican candidates,” said Amelia West, membership chair of the group. “This activity falls under one of our goals to keep the public and our members informed. We are excited to hold this event as a service to the people in District 4 and hope to have good attendance.”
The group’s mission is to promote limited government, fiscal responsibility, and accountable representation through citizen education and activism in order to preserve the U.S. Constitution. Its membership has grown considerably over the year as interest from people that want to become more involved in 2010 elections has ballooned.
