BUCSHON OPENS CAMPAIGN



  Indiana's Congressman from the 8th District, Larry Bucshon, officially launched his bid for re-election Tuesday.
   Bucshon, a Republican from Newburgh, says there will be a contrast between what he believes in, and what the President and my opponent believe in.
   Bucshon faces opposition from within his own party.  Kristi Risk, of Owen County, will face the Congressman in the May primary for the Republican nomination.  Risk narrowly lost to Bucshon in 2010 and is the favorite of the Tea Party wing of the Republican Party.   Risk says Bucshon should have voted against increases in the debt ceiling and other spending.
   The Democrat Party Endorsed Candidate Dave Crooks of Washington also took airm at Bucshon saying the congressman should have oppossed theMedicare and Social Security changes contained in the budget proposal.
