Costas to Chair Zoeller’s AG Race
The State Democrats only wish they understood this kind of unity.
***Republican Attorney General Candidate Greg Zoeller Announces
Valparaiso Mayor Jon Costas as Campaign Chairman***(Valparaiso) Republican Attorney General Candidate Greg Zoeller announced today that Valparaiso Mayor Jon Costas will serve as Chairman of the Zoeller for Attorney General Campaign.
Zoeller and Costas made the announcement today at the City Hall in Valparaiso.
“I am honored to have Mayor Costas on the team,” said Zoeller. “ Jon will provide a wealth of campaign support and experience, and I look forward to working with him in my bid to be the state’s next chief legal officer.”
“Having campaigned with Greg down at the State GOP Convention, I have come to know him and believe he will make an outstanding attorney general,” said Mayor Costas. His experience as our State’s Chief Deputy Attorney General and his vision of how he plans to serve if elected, makes him the best qualified candidate in the race. I am ready to go a step further than the usual endorsement and actively join his team’s effort to make his campaign a success.”
Zoeller won the Republican nomination for attorney general at the Republican State Convention last month. If elected, Zoeller has pledged to continue the fight against telemarketers and public corruption, to work with Indiana prosecutors, sheriffs and law enforcement to protect our children against online sex predators and to defend our teachers in nuisance litigation to help them restore discipline to the classroom.

I was laughing my butt of the whole time reading this. The demmies had their farce of a “unity” convention and even the uaw won’t get behind Jill-Bob. I can’t wait to start saying “I told you so”

WOW! That’s the problem with many conventions or even slatings. Too many folks come away from those with hard feelings and leads to internal strife.
I’m also glad Jon Costas was “man enough” to recognize the vote of the delegates and support the delegates choice for Attorney General.

This shows that both men are a class act.

I talked to Jon today, and he was very happy to have a positive role to play in defeating Linda Pence and returning Mitch to the governor’s job.
