McDermott for Indiana

The Indiana Democratic Party (@INDems) has a new leader. Former IN State Senator Karen Tallian talked with Tom about the close race and her message for those that did not support her. https://t.co/XkQrFmM9gY

With Pete Buttigieg announcing that he will not run for U.S. Senate in Michigan, what do you think, is he setting the stage for another Presidential run in 2028? Tom thinks so. https://t.co/XzU8AEonG3

Please donate if you can — all proceeds will go to Izabella and her family. If you are unable to donate at this time, you can still help by sharing this. Thank you!

And one more thing: if Tom reaches his fundraising goal, Izabella will shave Tom’s head on a special live stream!

Mayor Tom is raising money for 8-year-old Izabella. A lifelong Hammond resident, Izabella was diagnosed with leukemia. Her story is a touching one, and you can read more and donate here ➡️ https://t.co/4ZDTkf7ub5

Wishing everyone a happy and safe St. Patrick’s Day weekend! Thank you to everyone who helped, and turned out, and made my annual St. Patty’s fundraiser a great success. Hammond is headed in the right direction! https://t.co/b9FGhLcu2z
