He was one until 2012. He served in the legislature as a Republican, though.

He did a lengthy intervies on WIBC and explained it this was...

He lived in a district that was predominately Democrat at the time. Republicans didn’t even field candidates for many local races.

Like my county, only with republicans. There were only 2 democrats on the entire ticket, both unopposed.

If one wants to have a say in local government, you have to vote for the choices available. In my county,, it’s only Republicans. In Brauns, it was only democrats.

I checked his voting record in the state legislature, and he seemed to vote the way I would have hoped he would have.

I moved to southern Indiana 6 months ago. Labor unions are turning red down here big time. (Well members anyway. ) Coal, aluminum and prolife are really big down here. Trump has put many Hoosiers back to work and I have met many former democrats that will never forget the damage Obama along with fellow liberals did and will never vote democrat again. The political landscape across the entire Midwest is changing. I just hope we have it in us to embrace an awakening group, open even more eyes and prevent the rhinos from derailing this train.

Trump was a Demcorat at one time. So was Reagan. You voted against them because of it?
