INDIANAPOLIS — Indiana Senate candidate Luke Messer was a no-show at a campaign event with supporters in Kokomo on Wednesday, thanks to a cancelled flight. His own father wasn’t around, and Messer says he’s sought to balance political obligations with being active in his children’s lives. One opponent, fellow Rep. Todd Rokita, has gleefully highlighted times “Missing Messer” has been out of the state for prolonged periods. The Messer family sold its Indiana home in 2014 and he now uses a two-bedroom home he co-owns with his mom as his in-state residence. Messer made it to a GOP fish fry in Kosciusko County that night, the campaign said.
