🚨BREAKING: Indiana Senate race may be closer than many may think

Democrats may have a shot in 2022 in Indiana “You have no shot at winning” –– “Indiana is a deep red state” “A Democrat will never succeed statewide in Indiana again” We hear it all the time, and listen, we get it. In the past decade Indiana has been on a strongly conservative path, but times are ch…

Hoosiers - it is time that we unite!

Todd Young has got to go Hoosiers – it is time that we unite to #FIREToddYoung in November.

John - let’s talk 💰

Todd Young is in the pocket of special interests John – Todd Young has been talking an awful lot about money lately – and not just talking – criticizing President Biden and the Democrats plans, saying they’re raising taxes for Americans and increasing the national debt.   But that's not the case – t…

Todd Young is back on his ‘affordable gas tour’ John, Once again Todd Young is being trotted across the state by the GOP on their so-called ‘affordable gas tour’.

Tom McDermott is a gun sense candidate John –– like many Hoosiers, I am a gun owner. I also served in the U.S. Navy. In the military, I was taught to use my weapon responsibly and protect the lives of my fellow servicemen and women.  I believe in the 2nd amendment and our right to own guns, but ther…

We know who Todd Young is really working for Over the weekend, Todd Young voted to kill a proposal to cap the price of insulin to $35 a month for patients on Medicare.  Isn’t it coincidental that his campaign received more than $30,000 since 2018 from Eli Lilly's PAC, the company that makes insulin.…
