Hoosiers sent Senator Mike
Braun to D.C. to stand up against the status quo and get results.
As the top Republican
on the Senate Special Committee on Aging, Senator Braun is focused on addressing
issues facing the aging population in the United States with commonsense and
practical solutions. Many of his priorities on the Aging Committee are also top
priorities for Hoosiers back home such as reducing health care costs,
increasing access to rural broadband, and helping our veterans.
Before his historic victory in 2018, he was the founder and CEO of Meyer Distributing, a company he built in his hometown of Jasper that employs hundreds of Americans across the country. His decades of experience as a successful Main Street entrepreneur guide his approach to policy where he has worked efficiently and effectively to be in the top 10 of all Senators for bills signed into law in the 117th Congress. These bills have created great American jobs for veterans and tackled the opioid crisis and senior opioid abuse through the FREED of Opioids Act and the DUMP Opioids Act. He has also made significant progress, as a founding member of the Senate ALS Caucus, to ensure treatments for Americans with rare diseases and terminal illnesses by introducing the Promising Pathways Act and having his bill to benefit ALS patients signed into law.
In addition to serving as the Ranking Member of the Special Committee on Aging, Senator Braun also serves on the Agriculture Committee, Budget Committee, and the Health, Education, Labor and Pensions Committee (HELP).
Senator Braun has been married to his high school sweetheart Maureen since 1976. They have four children and reside in his hometown of Jasper, Indiana. Throughout the years, he has always looked for ways to give back to his community and serve his fellow Hoosiers, such as serving as a member of the local School Board and as a State Representative in 2014.
