Jackie Walorski, Republican candidate for the U.S. House, has secured the endorsement of the Indiana Farm Bureau political action committee.

“At a time when Indiana farmers are suffering from a devastating drought, they need to know their next representative will fight to protect their farms and voice their concerns at the federal level,” Walorski said in a press release. 

Trustees of Indiana Farm Bureau ELECT, the group’s political action committee, heard presentations from Walorski and Democratic U.S. House hopeful Brendan Mullen before endorsing Walorski.

Walorski, who is seeking Indiana’s Second District U.S. House seat, also got the endorsement of Maggie’s List, a group “dedicated to electing conservative women to federal office,” the organization said in a press release.

Walorski “will work to create a pro-growth environment for businesses,” said Sandra B. Mortham, chairwoman of Maggie’s List.
