Ensuring Republican Victories in November | John, As many of you may be aware, a recent poll conducted by Emerson College shows that Hoosiers are aligning with our Republican values and principles, giving us a strong foundation as we head into this critical election. The support we’re seeing is not just a reflection of our hard work, but of our commitment to serving the people of Indiana with integrity and conservative leadership.
However, we cannot take this support for granted. The poll is encouraging, but it’s only a snapshot in time. We must stay focused on the task at hand, especially when it comes to electing Republicans across the state, up and down the ballot. Every seat matters, and our efforts at the local level will be key to securing these victories.
We need to continue knocking on doors, making phone calls, and engaging voters to ensure that our message is heard in every corner of Indiana. This is not the time to slow down—it's the time to step up. Together, we can ensure our candidates have the resources, energy, and support to win in November.
Thank you for all that you do, and let’s keep up the momentum to secure a Republican victory in 2024!

Let’s make our support for Republican leadership visible all across Indiana! | Mike Braun’s Education Plan to Put Hoosier Kids and Parents First | Below are highlights from the Freedom and Opportunity Agenda - Education Plan to Put Hoosier Kids and Parents First. | 1) Universal School Choice for Every Hoosier Family - Over 50% of Indiana's budget is spent on K-12 education. It is time that those dollars are used to make our public and private schools the best in the nation.
- Mike Braun's plan will put parents in the driver’s seat by supporting and expanding Indiana’s school choice programs, which allow Hoosier families to choose the school that best fits their children’s educational needs, regardless of their income, race, or ZIP code.
2) Boost Teacher Pay and Improve Benefits - Mike Braun knows from running a business how to take care of employees. Just like the private sector, concrete steps need to be taken to enhance teacher pay and benefits.
- Mike Braun's plan will overhaul public teacher pay by increasing base salary, ensuring teachers have access to professional benefits, and improved health insurance options.
3) Build a Strong Teacher Pipeline - Indiana is contending with teacher shortages while trying to recruit and retain high-quality teachers.
- Mike Braun's plan will expand Indiana’s teacher pipeline by making it easier for professionals to switch careers into teaching, cutting red tape for teachers who move to Indiana, leveraging data to recruit teachers in high-need content areas and school districts, and partnering with successful Educator Preparation Programs.
4) Prioritize School Safety - School safety in Indiana is fragmented across multiple agencies, leading to potential gaps and inefficiencies in protecting our students.
- Mike Braun's plan will establish the Office of School Safety ensuring every Hoosier student benefits from the highest standards of school safety. Bolster the Secured School Safety Grant Program and implement cyber safety training for students.
5) Improve Quality and Raise Academic Standards - The State should continue to invest in improving educational outcomes for students by focusing on math and reading cognition, instituting clear accountability outcomes for students, and removing distractions from the classroom.
- Mike Braun's plan will provide parents with easy-to-understand accountability scores for their schools. Ensure state dollars are dedicated to student achievement and support using high quality, evidence-based instruction and are not focused on divisive social issues like Critical Race Theory.
6) Prepare Students for Success Beyond High School - Approximately half of Hoosiers that graduate high school go to college, the other half of students need to be prepared for success in the workforce or military.
- Mike Braun's plan will allow every parent and student the opportunity to define success for their circumstance. Reward schools for student success, be it enrolling in higher education, engaging in an apprenticeship program, joining the military, or starting their careers.
7) Put Kids First by Protecting Parental Rights - The rights of Hoosier parents to participate in their children’s education, safeguard their wellbeing, and protect them from divisive ideologies should never be in doubt.
- Mike Braun's plan will safeguard parents' roles as the primary advocates for their child’s wellbeing and the decision makers in their children’s lives. Ensure parents are never surprised at what is being taught in the classroom or disconnected from conversations with their child about their physical or mental health.
