Ron Bacon
District 75 vs. Mike Goebel
On October 1, 2009, Ron Bacon announced his candidacy for the Indiana House of Representatives in District 75, which includes parts of Vanderburgh, Warrick and Gibson counties. After watching the current leadership in Indianapolis present a budget that spent far more than it took in, robbed funding for the vital I-69 project from the Major Moves fund, and made Indiana less business-friendly, Ron realized it was time for a different approach in the General Assembly. His background makes him uniquely qualified to be the sort of leader that can aggressively work to bring new jobs to Southwest Indiana and improve government service, all while protecting Indiana taxpayers. As a small business owner in Vanderburgh and Warrick Counties for the past 32 years, Ron understands the importance of fiscal responsibility. Whether leasing space, selling products or signing paychecks, he knows what it means to watch the bottom line. He’s seen firsthand how lower taxes on small businesses mean more jobs for working families in Southwest Indiana. But he also realizes that his fiscal decisions have real consequences for his employees and his family. He’ll take this same approach to the State House as he fights to keep government spending low while always remembering he must protect taxpaying Hoosiers. And Ron knows a thing or two about keeping government spending low while providing high quality service to Hoosier citizens. As an elected Warrick County Councilman, he never voted for a budget that spent more money than the local government was bringing in. As the Warrick County Coroner, he modernized the department and implemented a model of service that makes record keeping easier and response times quicker for families in their times of loss. In this tough economic environment, we need legislators who will vote with those same principle in mind. Ron currently lives in Warrick County with his wife, Karen. They have two children and 3 grandchildren. In addition to owning Freedom Medical, the only family-owned medical supply store in Southwest Indiana, and serving as an elected official in Warrick County, he is also actively involved in many community service organizations. He is currently a member of Vanderburgh County Right to Life, Indiana Right to Life, the National Rifle Association, and the Kiwanis, and formerly served as president of the Boonville Kiwanis, Boonville Junior League Baseball/Softball program, and secretary and treasurer of the Evansville West Side Optimist Club. In his spare time, he is a master gardener and likes to restore classic cars. On November 2, 2010, vote to make Ron Bacon your next State Representative in District 75.
