An Elkhart County woman announced her campaign for Indiana’s 2nd Congressional District, aiming to challenge Republican Congressman Rudy Yakym.

Jamee Decio, an Elkhart native and daughter of well-known local businessman Arthur Decio, says Yakym has voted with President Trump nearly 95% of the time and hasn’t addressed all Hoosiers’ needs.

She plans to focus on higher wages, lower costs for groceries, healthcare, and housing, and support for local industries like RV manufacturing and farming.

Decio also praised Indiana lawmakers for leaving district lines unchanged this year.

“She plans to focus on higher wages, lower costs for groceries, healthcare, and housing, and support for local industries like RV manufacturing and farming.”

Ask her how she would do this, and her only answer will be to throw tax dollars at it. She’s only got money because of Daddy.

“says Yakym has voted with President Trump nearly 95% of the time and hasn’t addressed all Hoosiers’ needs.”

Trump has overwhelming support in this state, mostly because his policies align far more closely with our needs and values than anything the Left can come up with. I bet that really makes Karen mad. Err, Jamie. Sorry.

Yeah, nice talking points with no plan other than Orange Man Bad.

Since you are signed on to the platform of Death, Taxes and Poverty. I’m sure you don’t have one you can make public.

I’m opposed to all of her issues. I hate RV’s taking up road space! Food prices are supply and demand. How will she make the supply greater while taking up valuable farmland with solar panels? This congressional district has never been great under a democrat.

How will Jamee abide by her oath of office to follow, protect, and defend the US Constitution. Or will she be just be another TDS riddled loud mouth? Just because she has family money does not mean she is smarter than the average bear.
