(INDIANAPOLIS) April 5, 2010 – The Indiana Right to Life PAC announced today it has endorsed Johnny Nugent (R-Lawrenceburg) for reelection in Indiana Senate District 43.

  “Senator Nugent is a leader on life issues in the Indiana Senate,” said Mike Fichter, chairman of Indiana Right to Life PAC.  “He’s a rock solid voice that we can count on, and we will need that type of strength as we work to advance pro-life legislation in the next legislative session.  We encourage all pro-life voters to show their appreciation for Senator Nugent’s faithful pro-life stand by supporting him with their votes in May.”    

According to Fichter, endorsements from IRTL are based on a variety of factors including long-time support of Indiana Right to Life and Nugent’s pro-life voting record in the General Assembly.  Nugent is the owner of a successful small business in operation for 54 years. A U.S. Army Veteran, he is a life member of the National Rifle Association and serves on the NRA Board of Directors. He and his wife Nancy live in Lawrenceburg.
