In 2010, my family and I moved to Bloomington to support the Naval Surface Warfare Center, Crane. Six years later, I was hired as a Navy civilian engineer and spent nine years working in electromagnetic warfare, a critical role protecting our sailors from missile threats. It was meaningful, and I was proud of the mission and the team.

After graduation, we began our careers and started our family. I spent 25 years in local manufacturing, working in everything from sensor and electronics assembly to machining, heat treat, and plating. I know what it feels like to push for production goals, work mandatory overtime, and lie awake worrying when rumors of layoffs start spreading.

Brad Meyer is running for Congress to get things done for working people. He did not plan on a career in politics, but he walked away from a secure retirement because he could not ignore the direction this country is headed. After 17 town halls and 5 roundtables, he has heard the same thing: people are not just worried about one issue, they are losing sleep over everything.

The Executive branch is responsible for foreign affairs, but Congress has the power to Declare War, set budgets that support foreign policy, and be a strong voice in our overseas actions. I am not a war hawk, nor am I a pacifist. I believe the use of force should always be a last resort. I want just, peaceful, and long-term solutions wherever possible. We must unite a broad coalition that can restore common sense in foreign affairs and make America truly secure. I’ll stand up for our courts, equal justice, and civil liberties—they’re for every American.

Health Care Should Be A Right
Medicare remains incomplete, lacking essential coverage for dental, vision, and hearing care. This forces retirees to spend down fixed incomes on basic health needs that should be covered. The current model relies heavily on for-profit intermediaries, driving up administrative costs, increasing financial burdens, and complicating access to care.

Even with insurance, 40 million Americans can’t afford their co-pays or deductibles, and one in five are forced to skip doses of their prescriptions because of high prices. For many families, critical care is delayed because they are forced to battle paperwork and billing disputes instead of focusing on recovery. In a country that values freedom, no one should have to choose between their health and their financial survival. With guaranteed care, you will be free to start a business, change jobs, or pursue your dreams without fear of losing coverage.

While the Constitution places responsibility for education with the states, a focused federal role strengthens local authority rather than override it. The Department of Education helps build and protect the foundation of democracy. It is essential for national strength and long-term competitiveness.

Some in Congress are advancing privatization proposals that weaken the programs Americans rely on. The “One Big Beautiful Bill Act” is a prime example, seeking nearly $500 billion in Medicare cuts over ten years, imposing work requirements for Medicaid recipients, and eliminating minimum staffing requirements in nursing homes. We cannot let them succeed.

I’ll stand up for our courts, equal justice, and civil liberties—they’re for every American.A party with a narrow majority is imposing their will upon our citizens without limits, leaving nearly half the population with no voice and no protection. My policies will seek to restore respect for truth, respect for human dignity, and responsibility for those in power. Laws and institutions must serve the Constitution, not one person’s ambition.

The Department of Education supports local control, not by commanding schools, but by protecting fairness, promoting efficiency, and providing honest information for families. Efforts to eliminate the Department remove vital oversight and accountability, pushing unproven ideas without evidence. Eliminating it is like ripping out the scoreboard mid-game: no one can track results. No one is held responsible. That isn’t how you win; it’s how you cheat.

When we speak of protecting the environment, we really mean protecting our health. Indiana ranks among the worst for polluted rivers and air quality. Industry avoids responsibility and passes off the costs and the harms to us. Every one of us breathes the same air and drinks the same water. Environmental harm does not stay in distant forests or faraway rivers; it finds its way into our bodies, our families’ food, our homes, and our communities. This is not some abstract concept. This is directly connected to how we make a living and lead a decent life.
