INDIANA, (WOWO): U.S. Senator Joe Donnelly is endorsing Democratic U.S. House hopeful Joe Bock in his bid to unseat Republican Jackie Walorski.

Donnelly calls Bock a “proven consensus builder.” Bock says if he wins he'll try to understand both sides, identify people who are reasonable to work with and then make things happen. Bock is an instructor at Notre Dame.

Donnelly held the 2nd District post for five years before being elected to the U.S. Senate.
