Blythe was a member of the US Army Reserves Military Police Corps for ten years. She is an Operation Iraqi Freedom Veteran who had the honor of being selected as one of 19 soldiers (nine females) to provide personal security detail for General George Casey. Blythe has run for office in Bargersville, Indiana, where she is leading a growing Democratic presence in Johnson County. Blythe believes that it is time to engage more Democratic Veterans to get involved with changing the status quo of the Indiana political scene and the support our government gives Veterans.
