SULLIVAN, Ind. (WTHI) - Jesse James of Sullivan, Ind. made an announcement Thursday to run for State Respresentative in District 45.

James graduated from Sullivan High School and attended Wabash College in Crawfordsville, Ind.

He will be running for District 45 against Bruce Borders.

That district covers all of Sullivan County, Southern Vigo County and parts of Daviess, Knox and Greene Counties.

"I decided the people in this areas need some active representation, because inactive representation to me is empty representation in the Statehouse," James said.

James said he is excited and ready to begin the campaign trail.

One of the main issues he will work on is not letting rural areas be shoved aside.
