This election presents many new and difficult challenges our country did not face eight years ago. While this will be an historic election, the next President and Congress will inherit a myriad of international and domestic problems that will require someone with credible experience, good judgment, and the ability to be decisive in times of crisis. 
With oil prices at all-time highs, the housing meltdown, uncertainty of the Iraq war, the increased numbers of those without healthcare, and an economy that is reeling from the current administration's missteps, we need someone who will again look out for the basic needs of working Americans. Carolene Mays has the experience and leadership that will be required to bring prosperity back to our country. Carolene is the best qualified candidate who can go to work quickly working with both sides of the aisle to ensure the future of our children is not tethered to the current failed policies and legacy of a misguided war. Carolene's experience as a legislator, businesswoman, and long-time community leader in Indianapolis demonstrates the commitment and character we need to represent the 7th District and lead our country in a new direction.
