Local entrepreneurs and small business owners are being pushed out of the communities they built, forced to compete in an economy that favors distant conglomerates over local businesses. In places like Southern Indiana, job growth is being held back by rising input costs, uneven market conditions, and a chronic lack of accessible capital.

The cost of doing business must come down to restore the stability small businesses need to compete and grow. For More: www.bradmeyer.org

Young adults have always faced challenges getting launched into adulthood, and that transition has never been easy. What is different now is the presence of systemic barriers that are changing the outcome.

The policies being set now shift resources away from future growth and increase costs for the next generation. Gains built over generations are being used up, leaving younger Americans with higher costs, more risk, and fewer opportunities.

The strain is being felt across the entire community. Retirees are watching what they earned lose ground. Working families are doing more to stay in place. Small businesses are trying to compete in markets that are harder to enter and harder to survive in. Young adults are facing higher costs and fewer opportunities than the generation before them.

When all of these pressures show up at once, communities weaken, growth slows, and confidence in the future breaks down.

An economy only works when the rules are fair, enforced, and built to reward work. Workers should be able to earn a living. Entrepreneurs should be able to start and grow businesses in their own communities. Families should be able to build a stable life and plan for the future.

I am not running to describe these problems. I am running to fix them.

Defending constitutional norms ensures that when you win, your victory is durable, and when you lose, your rights remain intact. This is about your paycheck, your healthcare, and whether the system you depend on is still reliable.

If we trade rules for short-term advantage, we are handing the system to whoever has the most power to exploit the resulting chaos. A system without rules does not protect winners; it only delays the moment they become vulnerable. In a system without rules, there are no permanent winners, only people who have not lost yet.

A fair contract is not a handout. It is a fair return on the workers’ investment of time, skill, sacrifice, and labor. When workers can support their families, entire communities become stronger. Local businesses do better, families gain stability, and our towns have a stronger future.

Too many politicians talk about “manufacturing” like it is just another campaign slogan. They have never lived the reality workers face every day.

I have.

I spent 25 years working in manufacturing leadership roles here in Indiana. I’ve seen the pressure of production deadlines, the strain of mandatory overtime, and the anxiety that comes with rumors of layoffs.

I support unions because I know what happens behind closed doors in some companies.

The workers at Batesville Products deserve respect, fair treatment, and a contract that reflects the value they create every single day. I stand with them as they fight for a fair agreement.
