The race to represent the 75th district in Indiana's House of Representatives pits incumbent Democrat Dennis Avery against Republican challenger J.D. Strouth.
In our continuing "You Decide 2008" coverage, Fox 7 talked with both men about what they felt were the race's key issues.
The legislature took a major step during the 2008 session to change the state's property tax system - a move Strouth agreed with.
"I want to limit and cap property taxes," he said. "We need someone looking after the taxpayers' best interest. And, I'm going to do that."
"I think we need to look at House Bill 1001, which was the property tax bill, to make sure that there's fair taxation, because that did provide a cap on the percentage of taxes that are paid," said Avery.
Avery said if he's re-elected, for better or worse, he'll be dealing with the repercussions of HB 1001.
Avery has sat on the powerful Ways and Means Committee, which handles taxation
It's a post that only comes with seniority.
But, Strouth said it's time for a change.
"I think after someone is in office as long as he's been in office, for 34 years, I think that it would be a general tendency for someone to just lose contact with their voters, and I think that his record really shows that," Strouth said.
"Every weekend we come home to our constituents for most of the year - we don't really become institutionalized," said Avery. "My constituents are of primary concern to me and representing them well."
A place Strouth said Avery hasn't been representing them well is on legislation related to abortion.
"My opponent has had a poor record on life issues," said Strouth. "I know as recently as 2006 he voted against all the bill that were voted in that year that were, I guess, promoted by Right to Life."
"Even after it was pointed out that I voted with Right to Life the majority of the time, he continued to run advertisements that I had a pro-abortion voting record," said Avery.
And, Avery said abortion issues should really a backseat in people's minds this year.
"People are very worried about the economy. They're very concerned about their jobs. I'm getting calls all the time."
Tuesday, voters will get the chance to decide if they will call on Avery for another term or if they will dial Strouth's number.
