Mike Braun (Republican Party) is the Governor of Indiana. He assumed office on January 13, 2025. His current term ends on January 8, 2029.

Braun (Republican Party) ran for election for Governor of Indiana. He won in the general election on November 5, 2024.

Braun was born in 1954 in Jasper, Indiana.[1] He received a bachelor’s degree in economics from Wabash College and an M.B.A. from Harvard University.[1] After completing his graduate education, Braun returned to his hometown where he spent three years selling kitchen cabinets.[2]

In 1981, Braun started working for his father’s company—Meyer Body Inc.—which manufactured truck bodies for farmers.[3][2] According to IndyStar’s Robert King, “When the farm crisis hit in the early 1980s, the enterprise nearly went under. Braun steered the business toward the more lucrative direction of selling truck accessories—bed liners, running boards and other products used to trick out trucks.”[2] Braun fully acquired the company—which became Meyer Distributing Inc.—in 1995.[4]

From 2004 to 2014, Braun served on the Greater Jasper School Board.[5] In 2014, Braun was elected to represent District 63 in the Indiana House of Representatives after running unopposed in the general election. He was re-elected in 2016 after defeating Andrea Hulsman (D) 72% to 28% in the general election. In November 2017, Braun resigned from the state House to run for the U.S. Senate.[5]

Braun was elected to the Senate in 2018 after defeating incumbent Sen. Joe Donnelly (D) 51% to 44% in the general election. Braun ran on his experience as a business owner, saying, "I built a successful national company here in my hometown of Jasper, and it’s time we had some Hoosier know-how in the Senate, rather than more career politicians.”[6] Braun also campaigned on making healthcare more affordable, job creation, and reducing government spending.[7] Reflecting on his tenure in the Senate, The Washington Examiner’s David Sivak wrote that Braun said he “hopes to be remembered for his outspokenness on the national debt as he prepares to step down.”[8]

In January 2022, Braun announced that he would not seek re-election in 2024 and would instead run for Governor of Indiana.[9] On his decision to run for governor, Braun said, “An entrepreneur knows where he or she can make the most marginal impact. Like in the business world, that analog is true here [in the political world], and to me, it was running for governor.”[8]

During the 2024 gubernatorial election, Braun ran on decreasing property taxes, expanding school choice, and making healthcare more affordable.[10] Braun defeated five other candidates in the Republican primary with 39.5% of the vote. At the time, it was the most expensive primary in the state’s history.[11] Braun defeated Jennifer McCormick (D) 54% to 41% in the general election.

Records from the Dubois County Clerk's office showed that Braun voted in Democratic primaries in Indiana from at least 1996 to 2012.[12] On his reasoning for voting in Democratic primaries, Braun said, “My wife and I were lifelong conservatives and Republicans living in a county that was, you know, completely Democratic in all the offices. So if you wanted to weigh in on your local and county elections, anybody that was a Republican there mostly voted in the Democratic primaries.”[13] According to CNN’s Eric Bradner, “The turnout for Democratic primaries [in Dubois County] often doubled or even tripled the GOP turnout until 2012. Since then, more voters have grabbed Republican primary ballots.”[13]

Biography

Mike Braun has lived in Indiana. Braun graduated from Jasper High School in 1972.

Campaign website

Braun’s campaign website stated the following:

“

PROTECTING THE 2ND AMENDMENT
Mike is an avid Hunter, NRA member, and 100% pro-second Amendment.

CREATING JOBS FOR ALL HOOSIERS
Government is not the driver of new job creation or economic prosperity. And too often it gets in the way with onerous regulations and sky-high taxes. President Trump’s work to remove burdensome red tape and lower taxes for families and businesses are a start, but now is the time to double down on empowering the private sector and job creators.

We need a tax code that is simple and fair. We must repeal Obamacare, not repair it, to rein in costs and expand healthcare options. And we must ensure that American jobs are filled by American workers, not outsourced to other countries or given to illegal immigrants.

DRAIN THE SWAMP
Washington is chock full of politicians who talk a slick game, but comes up empty when it comes to getting real results. These politicians have done nothing to increase the prosperity and safety of our families and instead rigged the system to benefit the politically connected and themselves.

To make Washington work again, the swamp must be drained. Career politicians from both parties need to be replaced with citizen legislators with real world experience who will always put the interest of Hoosier families and businesses first. And we must pass term limits for politicians now.

REFORM HEALTHCARE
Obamacare is an unmitigated disaster for Hoosier families and businesses. Despite the promises of Washington politicians, premiums went up, families lost their doctors, and insurance options disappeared. There is no repairing this broken law; the only option is to repeal and replace every word and regulation.

Rather than a top-down, government-run healthcare system, Mike Braun believes in common sense alternatives that will reduce costs and increase access to care. These include allowing individuals to purchase insurance across state lines and allowing small businesses to pool together to purchase insurance at lower prices.

REDUCE GOVERNMENT SPENDING
Washington’s out of control spending must be stopped. The big spending politicians from both parties are mortgaging our future. Due to their failures to get serious about budget deficits, the national debt stands at more than $20 trillion – that’s $70,000 for every American citizen!

It’s time to force Washington politicians to get their fiscal house in order by reining in spending and balancing the budget just as every Hoosier family and business does. To ensure Congress gets this done, there should be no pay for politicians if Washington does not pass a budget.

PROTECT OUR BORDERS
The single most important obligation our government has is to protect its citizens. But for decades, the Congress has failed to meet this duty by refusing to address the southern border, allowing illegal immigrants and illicit drugs to pour into our communities.

The time for inaction is over. President Trump was right. We must act immediately to secure the border by building a wall, crack down on criminal illegal immigrants and the Sanctuary Cities that protect them, end chain migration, and demand that every business verifies the immigration status of its workers to protect American workers.

STRENGTHEN OUR MILITARY
From North Korea to Russia, despots and dictators are increasing instability and danger throughout the world. To combat the rising tide of uncertainty, a strong American military is needed more than ever before. Mike Braun supports making sure our troops have the tools and equipment they need to protect America’s interests abroad and defeat ISIS terrorists where they live.

THE RIGHT TO LIFE
Mike Braun is a father of four grown children and many grandchildren. The right to life is deeply important to him and in the Senate Mike will support legislation that says that life begins at conception. [21]

Scorecards

See also: State legislative scorecards and State legislative scorecards in Indiana

A scorecard evaluates a legislator’s voting record. Its purpose is to inform voters about the legislator’s political positions. Because scorecards have varying purposes and methodologies, each report should be considered on its own merits. For example, an advocacy group’s scorecard may assess a legislator’s voting record on one issue while a state newspaper’s scorecard may evaluate the voting record in its entirety.

Ballotpedia is in the process of developing an encyclopedic list of published scorecards. Some states have a limited number of available scorecards or scorecards produced only by select groups. It is Ballotpedia’s goal to incorporate all available scorecards regardless of ideology or number.

In 2017, the Indiana General Assembly was in session from January 3 through April 22.
