Frank Mrvan for U.S. Representative IN-01
A lifelong public servant, he is putting his decades of experience to work for the people of Northwest Indiana, reaching across the aisle to form alliances, secure funding, and pass legislation to protect our jobs, our healthcare, and our economy.
I will continue to bring back investments to grow the Northwest Indiana economy, fight for working men and women, protect women’s reproductive rights, and fight for good-paying job opportunities that support members of organized labor.

Jamee Decio for U.S. Representative IN-02
A devoted student of American History, Jamee grew up in a Northern Indiana family that welcomed everyone to their table. Her parents taught by example: Party lines meant little compared with character, community service, faith, and charity.
Jamee believes our federal government must refocus on the basic needs of all Americans, instead of seeking to control Democratic-led cities. She condemns using ICE to deport undocumented immigrants who hold jobs and pay taxes. She objects to spending $1.71 billion on deportations when millions of Americans are losing Medicaid and struggling with rising costs of food, fuel and housing.
As a member of Congress, Jamee will safeguard democracy and cooperate with fellow lawmakers to restore unity and hope for everyone.

Kelly Thompson for U.S. Representative IN-03
Hi, I’m Kelly Thompson, a mother of six, grandmother of 12. I have a BS of Business Administration from the University of Central Florida. I am married to my high school sweetheart. I am co-owner of a concrete contracting company that serves Northern Indiana, Southern Michigan, and Western Ohio. I founded a non-profit for at risk youth to reduce teen suicide, offer academic help, and work with their parents to help their homes become safer.
My work with the local youth opened my eyes to the REAL needs of our community, so I decided to make sure our local Representative was aware of them. He was not interested, dismissive. So, I decided to run to represent our families myself. I never saw myself as a politician; I still don’t. But I am an advocate, a problem solver, and fiercely courageous, especially when there is so much on the line.

Drew Cox for U.S. Representative IN-04
My name is Drew Cox, and I’m running to represent Indiana’s Fourth District in Congress. I’m a lifelong Hoosier and veteran raised by a farmer and public schoolteacher, and I’m committed to delivering the policies that serve Indiana’s residents instead of corporate interests.
Here in District 4, our elected officials have failed to represent working people. Our campaign is fighting to change that. We are putting young people and policies at the forefront of the campaign, and refusing to accept any corporate PAC donations to ensure that our interests lie entirely with the people.

J.D. Ford for U.S. Representative IN-05
Hoosiers deserve a voice and a choice in their leadership. That’s why I’m running for Congress. You helped me flip a long-held Republican district with the same hard work, compassion and drive that I’ll bring to Washington. I’ll fight to lower healthcare costs, empower all Hoosiers, and make life more affordable for the families who keep Indiana moving. As the first openly LGBTQ+ legislator in our state’s history, I know what it means to feel left out and I’m committed to building a state and a nation with liberty and justice for ALL.

Today, she and her husband, Greg, live in downtown Evansville, where they enjoy time with their two grandchildren and their dog, Pierre.

Today, she chairs the board of the Enterprise Zone, working to revitalize distressed communities.
Mary is running for Congress to bring people together, solve real problems, and make sure the next generation has more opportunities—not fewer.

Brad Meyer for U.S. Representative IN-09
Brad Meyer is running for Congress to get things done for working people. He did not plan on a career in politics, but he walked away from a secure retirement because he could not ignore the direction this country is headed. After 17 town halls and 5 roundtables, he has heard the same thing: people are not just worried about one issue, they are losing sleep over everything.
He sees young people starting out behind and workers in their prime still struggling to find solid ground and a path to a secure retirement. These problems are not accidents. They are the result of deliberate policy choices that have shifted power and wealth to the top while working families fall further behind.
Brad supports Medicare for All because no one should have to go broke just trying to stay alive. He is fighting for higher wages, fair taxes, and restoring the collective bargaining power that built the middle class.
