Garen T. Bragg, Noblesville, a conservative Republican, an insurance producer and officer in the Army National Guard announced Friday he will run for Indiana State Representative in District 29.
Bragg has high praise for departing State Representative Kathy Richardson, saying “she has been a strong leader in the statehouse for years. She leaves big shoes to fill.”
“Hamilton County deserves a fresh, conservative voice in the statehouse,” Bragg said. “I will fight for our shared values, for stronger schools and to make our economy more competitive. Through over six years of service in the Army National Guard I have learned what it means to serve. I am pro-life, a supporter of the second amendment and unashamed to stand for our religious liberties. I will speak truth to power, and say no to more taxes and no to tolling.”
In his announcement video uploaded to Facebook and YouTube, Bragg noted that “leaders behind closed doors” decided to rip out the Nickle Plate Railway in Noblesville. “We have to wonder, are they even listening?” Bragg continued, “I will fight to save the train.”
Bragg says that most voters want to see a fresh face and a conservative vision in the legislature instead of the backroom dealing offered by established politicians. “Listening to the voice of the people is what should guide our government. If elected, I will listen.”
The Republican Primary will be held on May 8, 2018. To learn more about Garen T. Bragg and his candidacy, visit garenbragg.com.
