2018 IN Senate race: on Principles & Values


Mike Braun: Use record of what's been done in hometown and statehouse

Indiana and the country would benefit from not having career politicians in government. Looking ahead, Braun explained how he plans to take on Sen. Donnelly. "I know Joe Donnelly will try to come at me and I can't wait to take the record of what we've done in our hometown and the time I've spent in the statehouse, and get those values and those ideas out there," said Braun.

Andrew Straw: Ten Commandments are public already; don't impose in court

Q: Do you agree or disagree with the statement, "Keep God in the public sphere"?

A: Support, but only in a manner consistent with the Constitution and the First Amendment.ÿ

Q: Is posting the Ten Commandments in courtrooms consistent with the Constitution and the First Amendment?

A: The Ten Commandments is a religious statement and is connected to the Hebrew religion. If the Court makes it seem like it is imposing the Ten Commandments as law, this shows bias in favor of one religion and whoever put it there should recuse when someone before the court as a litigant does not share that faith. It is better not to have it there. Most communities have so many churches, there are plenty of opportunities to see the Ten Commandments in public. It can be a display on every church grounds, and at the gates of cemeteries.
