(Knox, IN) - A former La Porte resident is now running for state senator, aimed for the 8th District seat currently held by Republican Mike Bohacek of Michiana Shores.
Spencer England, who lives in Starke County, describes himself as an “America First” supporter who would be committed to putting Hoosiers first.
“I wanted to declare my candidacy after several voters, including prominent insiders, felt their conservative beliefs were not represented at the state level,” he said.
England said his priorities include making care for veterans more easily accessible, acting as a watchdog to protect gun rights, combating illegal immigration, and protecting parental rights. This is in addition to bringing down drug use and dependency, alongside citing protecting the rights of landowners based on zoning and wetland protection as another priority.
“I am not a proponent of eminent domain unless absolutely necessary," he said.
England said he has other priorities, such as providing more great paying jobs, supporting law enforcement, and combating “ever-increasing high crime rates pouring over from the Chicagoland area.”
England and his wife are both military veterans raising five children.
