(La Porte County, IN) - The president of the United States is endorsing a local lawmaker in his bid for reelection.
The support is for State Representative Jim Pressel of Rolling Prairie.
In a social media post, President Trump called Pressel a champion for the people in his district who knows the America First policies to grow the economy and unleash American energy dominance. Trump said Pressel is also working at the state level to promote Hoosier values and other things like law and order, stopping migrant crime and advancing election integrity.
“Jim Pressel has my complete and total endorsement for re-election. He will never let you down,” he said.
So far, we’ve not been able to reach Pressel for a response to the president’s endorsement.
Pressel, who has held the District 20 seat since 2016, is challenged by La Porte area resident Juanita Haney for the Republican nomination in the May 5th primary.
