Braun[3] (born March 24, 1954) is an American businessman and politician serving as the junior United States Senator from Indiana. Previously, he represented the 63rd district in the Indiana House of Representatives from 2014 to 2017. A Republican, Braun defeated Democratic incumbent Joe Donnelly in 2018 to win a seat in the United States Senate.[4] Early life, education and business careerBraun was born in Jasper, Indiana on March 20, 1954.[5] He graduated from Jasper High School. He was a three-sport star athlete who married his high school sweetheart, who was a cheerleader.[6] He attended the all-male Wabash College, where he was a member of Phi Delta Theta Fraternity and graduated summa cum laude with a bachelor's degree in economics, and Harvard Business School, where he earned a master's degree.[7] After Harvard, Braun moved back to Indiana and joined his father’s business manufacturing truck bodies for farmers. When the economy of the mid-1980s hit farmers hard and his father's business nearly went under, Braun steered the business in the more lucrative direction of selling truck accessories. The business subsequently grew from 15 employees to more than 300.[6] In 1986, Braun and Daryl Rauscher acquired Meyer Body Inc., a manufacturer of truck bodies and distributor of truck parts and equipment.[8] In 1995 Braun fully acquired the company. Meyer Body was renamed Meyer Distributing in 1999. Braun is its president and CEO.[9] In 2018, Braun's personal finance disclosure listed assets worth between $35 million and $96 million.[10] Early political careerBraun was a member of the Jasper School Board from 2004 to 2014.[11] He served in the Indiana House of Representatives for Indiana District 63 from 2014 to 2017.[7] Braun resigned from the state House on November 1, 2017, to focus on his U.S. Senate campaign.[12] In July 2018, Braun called for the Indiana Attorney General, Republican Curtis Hill, to resign amid allegations that Hill had drunkenly groped a lawmaker and three legislative staffers.[13] U.S. Senate2018 Senate electionBraun won the Republican primary for the United States Senate in the 2018 election, defeating U.S. Congressmen Todd Rokita and Luke Messer[14][15] by over 56,000 votes. He received 208,520 votes, or roughly 41% of the total.[4] Braun ran as an "outsider", emphasizing his career in business.[16] He defeated Democratic incumbent Joe Donnelly in the November general election[17] with 52% of the vote to Donnelly's 44%; the Libertarian candidate, Lucy Brenton, tallied 4%.[18] TenureOn January 3, 2019, Braun was sworn in as the junior United States Senator from Indiana by Vice President Mike Pence. [19] Committee assignmentsFor the 116th United States Congress Braun was named to five Senate committees.[20] They are
Political positionsBraun opposes the Affordable Care Act, supported efforts at the congressional level to repeal it, and supports a lawsuit to roll it back.[21][22] Braun has called for "free-market competition" and "market-driven" solutions on health care.[23] During his 2018 Senate campaign, he criticized incumbent Democratic Senator Joe Donnelly as a "defender of Obamacare."[21] He expressed support for keeping in place protections for individuals with preexisting conditions; Politico and PolitiFact noted that both the House efforts and the lawsuit to repeal the Affordable Care Act, which Braun supported, would weaken protections for preexisting conditions.[21][22] Braun has said, "building the wall must be the first step to any solution" on illegal immigration.[24][23] He opposes a pathway to citizenship for undocumented immigrants who came to the United States as minors, known as DREAMers.[24] In addition, Braun supports banning federal funding from flowing to sanctuary cities, requiring that businesses check the immigration statuses of prospective employees, and cracking down on criminal gangs like MS-13.[25] Braun supported the Tax Cuts and Jobs Act of 2017, the Republican Party's tax reform bill.[23] He said the tax reform bill was "revenue-neutral"; the nonpartisan Congressional Budget Office estimated that the bill would increase U.S. debt.[23] Braun has called for cuts to the U.S. budget, saying that the U.S. "has a spending problem."[23] In 2018, Braun supported President Trump's trade and tariff policies, saying that they have "yielded phenomenal results."[23][26] Previously, he supported free trade policies.[26] Braun opposes abortion.[23] Asked for his view on the legalization of same-sex marriage, Braun said, "I believe in traditional marriage."[23][27] Braun fought to keep marriage defined as "between a man and a woman" in the Indiana Republican Party platform.[27] In the Indiana state legislature, he supported the Indiana Religious Freedom Restoration Act and opposed amendments to the bill that would have banned discrimination based on sexual orientation and gender identity.[27] Electoral history

Braun voted in the Democratic primaries in 1992, 1996, 1998, 2004, 2006 and 2008 -- which were largely solidly Democratic election years.
