| Dear friend,  Growing up, my parents taught me the values of hard-work, personal responsibility, and service to our community. My father voted for Democrats much of his life, but now, like many Americans, recognizes that the Republican Party is the true party of the working class. I was the first in my family to attend college. At Indiana University, I met my wonderful wife, Amanda, who has been the biggest blessing in my life. She keeps me grounded and ensures our family stays true to our conservative values every day. Coming from a humble background, I felt a calling to give back to my community. As such, after serving on a county council, I became a member of the Indiana State Senate in 2010. During my time in office, I took a leave of absence while I was deployed to Afghanistan as a Navy Reserve Supply Corps Officer.  Serving my country abroad reinforced my resolve to defend the freedoms and values that make America great. As an Afghanistan War veteran, I know what it means to fight for our country and our values.  During my time in Afghanistan, my wife stepped up to fill in for me in the State Senate. I am blessed to have a family dedicated to serving the American people. Amanda and I started a family back in 2009. We’ve been blessed with three beautiful daughters, Lillian, Elizabeth, and Joann, who inspire me each day. I am fighting for our country because I am fighting for their future. I want my daughters to grow up in a country where they are safe and can thrive.  Since 2016, I have chosen to continue my service career by representing Indiana’s 3rd district in the U.S. Congress. During my time in the House, I have been a consistent conservative voice dedicated to upholding and protecting the conservative American values that make our nation great. I was elected chair of the Republican Study Committee, the largest caucus of conservatives in the House of Representatives, and have collaborated with strong leaders, like President Trump, to put America first.  As the next Senator of Indiana, I intend to continue defending hard-working Americans and refuse to let the radical Left crush our values and destroy our country. My congressional record of fighting for strong families, limited government, and tighter spending speaks for itself. We have a great country worth defending, and I intend to do just that. As your next Senator, I will fight to balance the federal budget, protect our Southern border, stand up to China, and defend our children against the Left’s woke ideology. But, I need support from strong, grassroots conservatives like YOU to ensure our movement makes it all the way to Washington. Will you join us in preserving the American Dream?
Sincerely,
