Voters in Indiana’s largest congressional district will pick a new member of congress this fall. Congressman Larry Bucshon is retiring after 14 years in congress. He represents the 8th district, which stretches from the Ohio River to Terre Haute... And from the southwest corner of the state almost all the way to Bloomington.

Three men are running to succeed him... Republican Mark Messmer, Democrat Erik Hurt and Libertarian Richard Fitzlaff.

Garrett Bergquist, Government Reporter for WISH-TV and the producer of All Indiana Politics sits down with Democratic candidate Erik Hurt. He manages a movie theater in Evansville and says he got into the race to help working-class Hoosiers.
