I’m George Hornedo and I’m running for Congress because the old way isn’t working.
17 years of the same leadership—and too many families in Indy are still falling behind. It’s time for new energy. New urgency. New results.
Let’s build a better Indianapolis.

HEY EVERYONE REMEMBER WHEN TRUMP WAS IMPEACHED FOR DENYING AID TO UKRAINE BECAUSE HE WANTED ZELENSKY TO LIE AND SAY BAD THINGS ABOUT BIDEN AND ZELENKSY WOULDN’T DO IT?
Maybe literally one fucking American newspapers could mention this in their, “think pieces,” about what happened yesterday.
To the rest of the world: We are sorry. We do not claim him.

A defining policy battle is about to come to a head in this country. The Republican budget will force everyone - especially Congress and the White House - to make plain whether they are prepared to harm the rest of us in order to fund tax cuts for the wealthiest.
Still keeping the details close to her chest, she shares that she’s “feeling really optimistic. This feels right. It feels like it digs right into where I need to be, and I want this. This body needs to come out, and I’m ready to go there. This is becoming my new freedom, because when I’m in the studio, I know that my time away from my kids is to blossom something that hasn’t been watered in eight years. I’ve been in the studio the whole eight years. But it didn’t hit me. I was searching for it. I went through phases of what I wanted to do. ‘This kind of album, not that album.’ I know it’s not going to be anything that anybody expects. And it’s not going to be commercial or radio digestible. It’s going to be where my artistry deserves to be right now. I feel like I’ve finally cracked it, girl!”

I just love college football
I tuned into the game at the 2:00 mark in 4th quarter.
Speechless.
What an ending. 😱
I think what I’m saying is that I’m a Southern Black man who pulled himself from poverty to the Ivy League and in 8 years went from nearly homeless to running digital for some of the biggest politicians and I have had to fight for seats at tables others get offered for free.
I’ve been done paid staff work on congressional primary campaigns, a mayoral race, a senate primary, a presidential primary, a presidential election in a state, and a state party. I will not be quiet in this discussion about the future of my party.
The blasphemy!

Thanksgiving morning. Getting the turkey in the oven and Mac and cheese going in the crockpot. Wicked soundtrack playing.
Life is good.

Are drafts a thing here yet
A lot of people are shocked by the “points on the board” phrase - as was I - but it was also shocking how common I heard this and other game-type metaphors.
Many who are deeply disconnected from the harm do view and talk about it privately as a kind of sport. It is gross 🤢
The culture here makes it possible.
After Jan 6th I privately confronted Mace for lying about my story bc she too was terrified in her office.
I said as another assault survivor you know how harmful what you did is. Why? She said “whatever you know it’s a game, just points on the board”
Uhh no???
We need a real organizer and machine builder. Laser focused.

I want someone with a record of knowing how to WIN with working people and preserving our values. They exist!

The election wrecked me. But the Nazi march in Columbus yesterday? Oh, that broke my heart. And I’m a tough bitch. I nicknamed that city “Beloved, Ohio” in my heart in 2019.
I’m devastated and scared and full of wrath.
While we wait for the Biden Administration to take their responsibility to mitigate harm seriously, local communities can start to build a Firewall around themselves now!
