Indianapolis - Indiana Congressman Brad Ellsworth has hit the ground running for the US Senate being vacated by Evan Bayh. The Democrat spent part of the day touring an Indianapolis factory.

As a member of the House Armed Services Committee, touring Thomas & Skinner of Indianapolis makes perfect sense for Congressman Brad Ellsworth. The magnets made at the company go into the Hellfire and Sidewinder missiles used by the military in Iraq and Afghanistan.

Thomas & Skinner employees had plenty of questions for the US Senate candidate.

"American made products are very important," said an employee.

"Magnets are going into our fighting machines are being built in other countries. I don't want that to go there," said Ellsworth.
