Gabrielle Campo Makes it Official for 7th CD

GABRIELLE CAMPO ANNOUNCES BID FOR CONGRESS
Social Worker declares for 7th District race against Andre Carson

INDIANAPOLIS—Social Worker Gabrielle Campo announced her candidacy for Congress in Indiana’s Seventh Congressional District.

“I am proud to announce today that I am a candidate for Congress because, as someone who works for families every day, I know we need a Congressperson who offers real hope for change and truly represent all Hoosier families,” Campo said.

Campo makes her announcement in front of the City Market, a symbol of urban renewal that Campo pledges she would bring to Congress. “The City Market, much like Indianapolis, has a rich history, but in recent times, has been neglected. However, community leaders and local government worked together to enable the City Market experience a new revival. It is the type of collaboration I want to bring to Washington and the type of leadership we need more of in the Seventh District.”

“I am running because I believe this district cannot stand for status quo. I will fight for policies that keep money in your hands, create jobs for your families and improve education for your children. I offer you a new type of leadership; one driven with passion to empower individuals, families, and communities.” Campo said.

Campo has dedicated her career to servant leadership and direct service. As a social worker, Campo has coordinated youth programs helping children in Low-income families, managing post-adoption cases, working on publications dealing with issues facing Hoosier families, and serving on many local committees, including the Indiana Disproportionality Committee, the Indiana Coalition to Improve Adolescent Health, and the Marion County Underage Binge Drinking Task Force. Campo is a member of the National Association of Social Workers and the International Society of Child Indicators.
