WARSAW — President Donald Trump has endorsed State Rep. Craig Snow in his upcoming primary race for state House District 22.
Snow, of Warsaw, is one of ten candidates recently endorsed by Trump as the president continues to take a keen interest in races in the Hoosier state after many Republican and Democratic lawmakers voted against Congressional redistricting in Indiana in December.
Most of Trump’s campaign efforts in Indiana have focused on supporting Republican challengers running against incumbent Republican state Senators who voted against redistricting in December.
Endorsing Republicans in the House seems to be an extension of that strategy.
The story did not include any comments about Snow directed by Trump.
Snow is facing a primary challenge from Daniel R. Koors, who resides in North Manchester.
According to his Facebook page, Koors attended Purdue University and is the owner of DWK Trucking LLC.
A list of recent endorsements was the basis for an update by the Indiana Capital Chronicle on Trump’s most recent endorsements, which you can read here.
Snow was first elected in 2020 and succeeded Dave Wolkins, who retired.
Endorsements by the White House involving local races have been exceedingly rare, but much more common under Trump.
Snow is likely the first local state representative to be endorsed by a sitting president in recent memory.
News Now Warsaw reached out to Snow for comment on the endorsement, but did not immediately hear back.
Snow was one of many Republican House members who voted to drastically redistrict congressional lines in December.
The state senate rejected the legislation, ending the debate.
Trump then promised to campaign against those who opposed the legislation.
