What Folks Say About David
“David Henry will bring both experience and a deep appreciation of our community to the County Council. With 20 years of governmental and policy expertise, he will be a quick study of the details on the critical issues our county faces. As the former Monroe County Auditor and State Senator, I am acutely aware of the importance of informed and hard-working County Council members as they set priorities for spending and protect our tax dollars. David’s accessibility to the entire community, and his keen understanding of our county’s trajectory, make him a clear choice as County Council at-large, and I am confident that he will help steer Monroe County toward a bright future.” - Vi Simpson, Former State Senator and Monroe County Auditor
“David wants to talk County Issues with County Residents: Roads, Ditching, Drainage, Trash, and Litter--The things things we deal with beyond the View From Downtown. Our Good Friend David Henry, who is seeking a seat on the County Council, and for the First Time in my Memory, is coming out to a non-City, non-IU public venue in Perry Township. That in itself merits showing up. If we want our roads paved and the horrific roadside trash problems dealt with, it is far better that County candidates come to us, than we go hat in hand to sit through hours of forums we feel left out of, just to ask for help.” - Dan Combs, Perry Township Trustee
David has demonstrated a commendable ability to steer and guide with good judgment and a deep understanding of the issues at hand. Furthermore, his tenure in leading the local Democratic party has showcased not only his strategic acumen but also his unwavering commitment to listening to and valuing the voices of the community he aims to serve. David Henry represents the kind of thoughtful, experienced, and responsive leadership that Monroe County deserves. I strongly support his candidacy and encourage others to support David as one of your three at-large representatives to the Monroe County Council” - Geoff McKim, Monroe County Councilperson-At-Large, 2008-2024

“I see David Henry as a top 10% candidate in the U.S., whether he runs for county council, commissioner, state senator, or Congress. He's a very well rounded candidate, with a somewhat unusual combo of good on the issues, good at a podium or in front of a TV camera, trusts voters with depth of information, etc….I see David Henry as the best person in this election, all races considered. He would also be a good candidate for commissioner, governor, or Congress (I'm not saying he's looking there in the future, but talking about the combination of knowledge, awareness, civic responsibility, friendliness, reaching out to people, and personal responsibility.)” - Jim Shackelford, Former MCCSC Board Candidate and Local Social Media Influencer.
“David Henry is THE OG. That’s why they call him David G. Henry.” - Brandon Dothager, Former Indiana State Representative Candidate, District 12, HoosLeft Podcast Contributor
