After a lifetime of working, retirement should be about enjoying your life, not worrying about whether you can afford to survive.

For too many retirees, Social Security is not keeping up with the rising cost of living and the future of Social Security remains uncertain as the reserves are estimated to run out in 6 years. We need to strengthen it by removing the cap on Social Security contributions, so the wealthiest Americans pay their fair share.

Social Security is something you earn through a lifetime of work. That is true for every generation. I will fight to protect it and make sure every retiree can count on it.

Houchin RAVES about how she is “saving” you money. But what does that “saving” look like?

Cuts to Medicaid.

Cuts to SNAP.

Cuts to healthcare assistance.

Cuts to programs that help working families, children, seniors, and people living on limited incomes.

When government cuts the programs people depend on, you do not simply stop paying. You pay somewhere else. Under this administration, you pay to big business and private interests. Not government programs that are supposed to help you.

Jeremiah 5:28 says:

“...Their evil deeds have no limit;

they do not seek justice.

They do not promote the case of the fatherless;

they do not defend the just cause of the poor.”

Brad Meyer believes our government should work for people, not private interests. Hoosiers deserve a representative who fights to make life more affordable, not one who calls cuts to essential programs “savings.”

For 33 years, from 1965 to 1998, Lee Hamilton represented Indiana’s 9th Congressional District with integrity. He often spoke about striving to do the right thing and reminded us that government works best when public officials take their responsibility to the people seriously. Brad Meyer takes that same principle to heart.

Brad believes Congress must hold the Executive Branch accountable. That means protecting Congress’s constitutional authority over war, ensuring the law is applied equally to everyone, demanding proper fiscal oversight, and making sure public funds approved by Congress cannot simply be delayed or redirected. Government should serve the people, not operate without meaningful accountability.

Brad brings that commitment to integrity from his career as an engineer, where transparency, accuracy, and responsibility were part of the job every day. As your representative for Indiana’s 9th District, Brad will work to restore ethics, integrity, and accountability in Congress. It is time to expect more from our government and the people who represent us.

Election Day is November 3, and the deadline to register to vote is October 5. Take a few minutes to register or check your registration today so you're ready to make your voice heard this fall.

In September 2026, EPA officials came to Indianapolis to announce a plan to put Indiana in charge of permitting and managing the disposal of coal ash and fly ash from coal power plants. These coal byproducts contain dangerous contaminants like mercury, cadmium, arsenic, and lead. Indiana already has at least 100 coal ash sites, the largest number of any state, and most are unlined and likely to seep into our groundwater.

The Federal EPA is putting Hoosiers at risk by proposing rules that could weaken monitoring and regulation of these toxic byproducts. The new rules would allow coal ash to be used in concrete, drywall in our homes, and as a nitrogen additive on our farmland. They would also stop monitoring and cleaning up old dump sites altogether. Hoosiers should not have to worry about toxic contaminants making their way into our groundwater, homes, and farmland.

Brad Meyer will fight to hold polluters accountable for pushing their mess onto Hoosier communities. He will advocate for strong environmental protections even after corporations stop operating. We need to protect our land, our water, and our environment not only for ourselves, but for our children and their future.

"Love me?" Awkward timing, because most of us have already started writing our break-up letters - the ones we're delivering on Election Day, November 3.

We know a bad relationship when we're in one. And we've been in one with him and his enablers in Congress for a long time.

It's time to change Congress. I'm asking for your vote.

Young people are being asked to pay more and more for an education, only to graduate and struggle to find a good job. Education should open the door to opportunity, not leave young people buried in debt with no clear path into the workforce.

Congress has failed to connect education with the jobs and skills our communities actually need. We need to stop treating education and workforce development as separate issues and build a system that gives young people a clear path from the classroom to a career.

When I go to Washington, I’ll work to align federal education and workforce funding with the needs of local schools, training programs, and employers. I’ll fight to lower student loan interest rates, expand Pell Grants and work study, make public college and trade school more affordable for low income families, fully fund Title I, expand apprenticeships and Job Corps, strengthen career and technical education, support adult retraining, and remove financial barriers at every stage.

These are all actions Congress COULD take to help our youth. Yet, they let this generations opportunity slip through their fingers. Our young people deserve an affordable education that leads to opportunity. It is time for new representation to make this happen.

Why are diesel prices so high? Simple. It's a result of an unnecessary war with Iran. No matter how Trump and his cronies try to spin it, it's clear the high prices are the result of this conflict. That war of choice is immeasurably impoverishing the farmers and citizens they feed.

Right now, fuel prices are at all time highs leading to the rise in price of all consumer products. This is especially true for American farmers. In Southern Indiana, diesel fuel prices are over $6 per gallon. Those farmers have only two options: park their diesel powered equipment and reduce their farming efforts or pay the record high fuel.

Rep. Houchin brags about supporting Southern Indiana farmers; but on September 15, 2026, she voted against a Congressional resolution to stop the war with Iran. So much for supporting farmers and the rest of Southern Indiana residents in CD-09. Her lack of action is making Indiana residents lives harder.

When I'm elected, I'll work to bring back an important rule: only Congress can decide to start a war, not just the President alone. We shouldn't let one person choose to send our country to war without Congress's approval.

Rep. Houchin is not standing up for Hoosiers. She is standing with Trump as he ignores the hardships his war of choice is causing all Americans, especially American farmers.

The war with Iran was started without Congress’s approval. Our Constitution gives Congress the power to declare war. It is illegal for President Trump to start a war and risk US soldiers lives without approval from Congress.

And who pays for war? Working Americans. We pay for the military budget used to fight these wars AND we pay again at the gas pump when conflict drives up fuel prices. During this conflict, fuel prices reached record high costs, driving up the cost of transportation all throughout across the country.

Despite the struggles this has created on working Americans, on September 15, 2026, she voted against a Congressional resolution to stop the war with Iran. That is a failure to stand up for the working people who are paying the price for this war, both through their tax dollars and at the gas pump. It is time for better representation in Congress that doesn't waste working people's money and can hold our president accountable.

Across Indiana, people are working hard, following the rules, and doing everything they were told would lead to a better life. Yet too many are still struggling just to get by.

Nearly 40% of Indiana households are struggling to earn enough to cover the basic cost of living. Housing, healthcare, groceries, utilities, and other necessities continue to consume more of every paycheck, while wages fail to keep pace.

This is not a failure of hard work. It is a failure to build an economy that rewards hard work.

In this country, anyone who works a full time job should be able to afford the basics. You should be able to keep a roof over your family's head, see a doctor when you need one, pay your bills, put food on the table, and still have the opportunity to build something for the future.

That is why I support raising the minimum wage to $20 an hour. I believe the first $20,000 of income should be tax free, giving working people more control over the money they earn. I support Medicare for All so getting sick does not mean risking your family's financial security. And I will work to reverse tariffs that drive up the cost of everyday goods and make it harder for families to make ends meet.

We do not have to accept an economy where working people are forced to choose between paying the rent, buying groceries, and getting the healthcare they need. We can build an economy where hard work provides stability, opportunity, and a path forward.

Hoosiers deserve more than survival. They deserve the ability to build a secure life, support their families, and know that their hard work will lead somewhere. I will fight for that future, and I will fight for every community in this district.

Hoosiers have not paid Indiana’s gasoline use tax — a 7% sales tax calculated each month — since Braun declared an energy emergency at the start of the Iran War in April.

The Indiana Department of Transportation projects losses from the excise and usage tax suspensions will reach a combined $1.1 billion for state and local road projects.

Good luck Indiana!!!

The 119th Congress's first year made historic dysfunction a headline: 11,815 bills introduced in 2025, fewer than 40 signed into law by year's end, a modern record low for a new presidency's first year. Rep. Erin Houchin (R-IN-9) has been part of that majority the whole time.

Legislative output cratered to historic lows while the party in-charge continues enriching themselves and those here at home continue to be squeezed at the grocery, the gas pump, utilities, and more. While they weren't passing bills to help the working class, they found themselves personally enriched.

When elected, I won't profit at Hoosiers' expense. I'll reject unethical financial gain from my office, and I'll push for timely, transparent financial reporting from every public official.

No elected official swears an oath to a person. They swear an oath to the Constitution. When a president of the United States asks for personal loyalty over that oath, that's not a policy disagreement - it's a litmus test.

Your representative doesn't work for a party boss. She doesn't work for a president. She works for the people of her district - or she's supposed to.

At a recent rally, Trump had the crowd raise their right hands and repeat: "I pledge to the greatest president in the history of the United States." Not the Constitution. The flag. Him.

There are moments when "principle over party" isn't just a slogan - it's the job.

The United States doesn't have rulers. It has representatives.

Yours has forgotten that, remind her in November. Vote Brad Meyer.

Affordable healthcare should not be a privilege. It should be something every Hoosier can count on. Our current representative has been silent while healthcare costs continue to put pressure on Hoosier families. We need representatives who will make affordable healthcare a priority.

For decades, Washington has failed to build a healthcare system that works for working families, seniors, women, and rural communities. Americans spend more on healthcare than people in many other developed countries, yet the United States continues to have worse life expectancy and higher preventable mortality than the OECD average.

Here in Indiana, too many families are forced to choose between paying their medical bills and paying for groceries, housing, or other necessities. The majority of people with debt also have medical debt and the majority of people who declare bankruptcy have medical debt. Rural communities are also facing growing challenges accessing doctors and healthcare facilities.

Hoosiers are paying too much and not living longer. We need to start laying the groundwork now.

If we take back the House, we can begin building a healthcare system that puts people before profits. We can pass comprehensive healthcare reform and make affordable coverage a reality. That work starts on Day One. I won’t stop working until every Hoosier has access to affordable healthcare. It's time we get a healthcare system that works for you.

Where can you find us this week? Every week we will be sharing all the opportunities you have to meet us - and maybe even some opportunities for you to be involved! It'll be pinned to the top of our page, stick around for more!

Social Security is already on life support, and Congress and Erin Houchin's inaction is destroying it.

They have failed to stand up for Indiana seniors who depend on Social Security to afford the basics. Seniors should not have to worry about whether the benefits they earned will be there tomorrow. They earned this. They paid into it. They deserve to know it will be there when they need it.

Social Security does not need to be cut. It needs to be protected and strengthened. When I get to Congress, I will protect Social Security by eliminating the tax cap. That will strengthen the program’s reserves and help ensure Social Security remains strong for decades.

Congress and your current representative is failing Indiana seniors. I will fight for them. That is why I am running.
