The Rumor Mill Continues to Churn
Sir Hailstone of the The Digital Farmers blog is pointing out now that former Indianapolis City-County Council Candidate Bruce Henry, whose name this week has started being thrown around as a potential congressional candidate in the 7th District, is now being pressed to respond to the growing rumors.
Heard from several folks about the rumored potential candidacy of a black Republican candidate for the 7th Congressional District. So is he or isn’t he?
At a recent township GOP club meeting, after reviewing the canvass and revealing that Bruce Henry lost a few key precincts by the narrowest of margins, leading to his loss. As Mr. Henry recently required what would turn into a poorly timed foot operation, he could not walk neighborhoods as most Council candidates. Whether this led to his loss we will never know.
Others tried to pin down Bruce as to his future plans - “Go back to work at IMPD”. “Will you run for Council again?” - “Maybe”. “How about other offices?” - “You never know”.
One finally asked Bruce point blank “So what’s this you’re running for Congress?” - “I have no idea where that came from” as he said with a smile.

oops - D’OH! typo in the last paragraph!!
Note to Josh - proofread my stuff before C&P. Not quite as embarrassing as the typo on a City-County proposal that made the proposal “R-rated” (public without the “L”). Still wouldn’t want the wonky Blogwitch a reason to flame for some “subconcious Republican bigotry”.
