A Letter From Maureen Braun

Dear Friend,

You may know my husband, Mike Braun, is running for Governor, but I want to tell you more. I have been married to him for 48 years, and I know he will make the best Governor Indiana has ever had! Let me share with you why.

His approach is entrepreneurial, and he has experience rolling up his sleeves and working tirelessly to transform a small company headquartered in Jasper, Indiana into a successful national organization. He sees opportunities that others miss. He handles difficult situations with calmness and persistence. He is a leader and works well with others, even when there are differing opinions. He is not only book smart; he is street smart.

His hands-on experience managing a company for over 40 years separates him from his opponents as he truly understands how to implement solutions that work. His experience as a U.S. Senator enables him to understand all the national issues while also having personal connections with other Senators and Governors. His years serving in Indiana’s House for District 63 have given him firsthand experience with the legislature while also having personal connections with many current members. His years on the Greater Jasper Consolidated School Board have given him insight into how to truly make a difference in the education of our children at all levels. His knowledge gained from conversations with our grown children gives him perspective on today's youth.

His Indiana roots run deep, and so does his passion for his home-state. Mike has visited all 92 counties for five years in a row as a US Senator, and he will complete that goal again this year. He is truly committed to listening to learn the priorities on Hoosiers’ minds: property taxes, high cost of living, health care, inflation, childcare, education, poor roads, rural broadband, small business and agriculture issues, safety, and the list goes on.

What I can promise you is that Mike will get results. He brings people together to brainstorm ideas so that everyone has the opportunity to work together. He is very creative in solving problems. He is very cost-conscious and gets the best value for a solution. He looks both short- term and long-term.

Mike is focused on what he can do for YOU and INDIANA! He knows he can make a difference and is willing to do the hard work to get the job done. Other states will look to Indiana as an example of freedom and opportunity, creativity and courage. Mike could be hunting, fishing, working in his native Indiana garden, or walking the woods, but instead he is committed to giving back to Indiana and sharing what he has learned. He has so much knowledge to give.
