Braun
After receiving nearly 40 percent of the vote in a six-person primary and winning by over 18 points, Republican gubernatorial nominee Mike Braun has announced State Representative Julie McGuire (R-Indianapolis) as his pick for Lt. Governor.
McGuire is a lifelong conservative Hoosier who has spent over 15 years as the Parish Business Manager at St. Roch Catholic Church. In her campaign for State Representative, she has been endorsed by Indiana Right to Life, the NRA, NFIB, and the State Police Alliance PAC.
Braun and McGuire will make their case to Hoosier delegates to support McGuire at the state’s nominating convention in June.
“Julie McGuire is a strong conservative who has lived the values of faith, family, and community,” Braun said. “Like me, Julie didn’t come from the farm system of politics – her experience comes from the real world serving her neighbors, raising a family, and getting things done on issues like child services and health freedom. Julie shares my vision of making Indiana a national beacon of freedom and opportunity, and I’m proud to have her on the team.”
“I’m thrilled and humbled by this opportunity to join Mike’s campaign to take our state to new heights,” McGuire said. “I am ready to bring my perspective as a mom and the experience I’ve gained serving my community from my local church to the Statehouse to get real results on issues like health freedom, standing up for our kids, and lowering health care costs for Hoosiers. I look forward to making my case to Hoosier delegates ahead of the Convention that I’m the right choice to win big with Mike in November and turn Indiana into a beacon of freedom and opportunity for America.”
