Steve Carter: “Greg Zoeller is a Person Who You Can Trust to Serve With Integrity.”

[The Directors of Hoosier Access welcome this post from, Indiana's Current Attorney General, Steve Carter on why he is supporting Greg Zoeller for Attorney General.]

I am writing to endorse Greg Zoeller as the 2008 Attorney General Nominee that you will select in your role as a delegate to the Republican state convention. It also seems like the right time for me to thank you for having chosen me as your nominee at past conventions. Together, your selection of me as the candidate for Attorney General and the electoral victories bestowed on me by the voters in the 2000 and 2004 general elections provided me with an opportunity to serve the state. I have worked to the best of my ability to serve with the honor our citizens deserve.

I trust you to use your best judgment to select the best qualified candidates to put before the voters in November. I don’t believe in strong-arm tactics or using an endorsement to pressure you, as someone entrusted with the honor and duty of serving as a state convention delegate. I trust your conscience will lead you to a good decision for all.

If you review the qualifications of Greg Zoeller to be Indiana’s Attorney General, I think you will find they are exceptional. Things like keeping telemarketers from violating your privacy, returning record amounts of unclaimed property, fighting public corruption and vote fraud in Lake County, and creating an independent Conner Prairie are successes that occurred with Greg Zoeller’s leadership in the Attorney General’s office. We have a strong record and it’s one that Greg, as Indiana’s Chief Deputy Attorney General, can run on in November. He knows the office from top to bottom and can run it well from the very first day in office.

He has served the entire state, not just as Indiana’s Chief Deputy Attorney General, but also as leader of Vice-President Quayle’s U.S. Senate office here in Indiana. With your help, I know he can continue to do that as your next Indiana Attorney General.

Greg Zoeller is a person who you can trust to serve with integrity.

Thank you for your willingness to thoughtfully participate in the process of choosing our party’s best nominee for Attorney General.
