Alan Alderfer announced today that he will be suspending his campaign for the Indiana House of Representatives District 18 seat in the May 2020 Republican primary election.
“After much contemplation I have decided to suspend my campaign. I went into this experience wanting to listen to the community and help come up with solutions to the various issues that affect all of us. Family values are the core of who I am. My daughters have questioned me about not being home and being on the phone all the time while working on campaign issues. My daughter Katherine’s medical condition has been worsening over the last six months and her treatments have changed substantially over the last month. I don’t feel the added stress of this campaign is fair to her and her twin sister, Caroline,” he said.
“I would like to thank this amazing community for all the support you have given to me through this experience. I firmly believe in hard work, strong families and spiritual values. I also want to thank Kent Adams for his encouragement and guidance.
“Going forward, I plan to continue focusing my time and energy on my passion of helping Riley Families, the Merit Officers of the Kosciusko County Sheriff’s Department, the clients of Alderfer Bergen, and my family.”
Alderfer announced he would be a candidate for the Indiana House in the May 2020 Republican primary election on Dec. 30. District 18 includes Wabash County and parts of Kosciusko, Miami and Grant counties.
