Rep. Marlin Stutzman (R-IN) will enter the race for Indiana Senate on Saturday, joining a former chief of staff for retiring Sen. Dan Coats (R-IN) in the Republican primary, The Hill reports.
Stutzman Says He Was Hoodwinked by GOP Leaders
After the ‘cromnibus‘ funding bill passed, Rep. Marlin Stutzman (R-IN) “made the rather shocking claim that GOP leadership convinced him to vote for the rule allowing the bill to get to the floor by telling him they were pulling the bill anyway,” Roll Call reports.
Said Stutzman: “Earlier today, I supported the Rule because I was informed by Leadership that the CROmnibus was dead and a short term CR would take its place. I was very surprised and even more disappointed to see the CROmnibus back on the floor. The American people deserve better.”
