For Gary Byrne, backing the blue isn’t just a slogan. It’s a promise he has made, and kept.
Gary has a proven record of support for law enforcement:
For 8 years, he witnessed first-hand how the teachers’ unions often care more about the adults in the school than the kids.
Half of the state’s budget goes to education, and as a conservative Gary knows we need to make sure this money educates kids, not indoctrinates them in junk leftist ideologies like critical race theory.
Gary sponsored (and voted for) legislation to protect girl’s sports from unfair competition by biological males. Governor Holcomb vetoed this bill, and Gary voted to override his veto.
Gary is a 7th generation farmer and has the endorsement of Indiana Farm Bureau AgELECT.
He knows there need to be more strong voices for rural Indiana in state government.
The legislature needs more conservatives with local government and school board experience.
Our country is in a time of crisis, and Gary believes the solution to what ails our nation will come from rural America and from the heartland of states like Indiana.
He supports the Second Amendment and is a member of the National Rifle Association.
Gary believes that the Bill of Rights is not a Bill of Suggestions, and he voted for Constitutional Carry.
He is a conservative and will never vote to raise taxes.
Gary opposes executive mandates and the extended use of emergency executive orders.
In Indiana, we’re fortunate to have strong voter ID laws, but the 2020 election showed we can’t rest when it comes to improving the integrity of our elections.
Gary knows we need paper ballots marked by the voter, and we need to strongly reject Democrat claims that election integrity is somehow voter suppression.
Only citizens should vote, and steps must be taken to ensure absentee voting is more secure.
If we don’t have free and fair elections, we do not have a free country.
Prior to serving as State Senator for District 47, Gary Byrne served two terms (8 years) on the North Harrison School Board and a term (4 years) on the Harrison County Council.
He farms cattle and hay, and is the owner of Byrne Satellite, a family-owned business that installs security and satellite systems in homes and businesses. The farm has been in his family since 1806.
He is a member of the Farm Bureau and the National Rifle Association.
