Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

Joshua Brant is running for Indiana State Senate District 23 as THE anti‑corruption candidate, and committed to putting Hoosier needs ahead of partisan politics. A veteran, father, and lifelong Hoosier, Joshua believes public service means accountability, transparency, and listening to the people you represent — not political insiders or party bosses.

Growing up in a working‑class family and later serving in uniform shaped his belief that government should be honest, practical, and focused on real‑world problems. Joshua is running as an Independent because he has seen how corruption, backroom deals, and party loyalty prevent lawmakers from having genuine conversations about healthcare, public education, and affordability — the issues that matter most to families across District 23.

Joshua’s campaign is built on service, integrity, and a promise to answer only to the voters. He is committed to strengthening all Indiana schools, expanding access to affordable healthcare, and ensuring that Hoosiers can build stable, secure lives without being squeezed by rising costs. Above all, he is fighting to restore trust in state government and give every voter a real choice at the ballot box, and a chance for genuine representation.

Ending Corruption and Restoring Trust: Hoosiers deserve a government that works for them — not for lobbyists, party insiders, or backroom deals.

I will fight for transparency, accountability, and honest conversations about the issues that matter. My only loyalty is to the people of District 23, and I will work every day to restore trust in state government.Putting People Over Party: Indiana’s challenges aren’t Republican or Democrat — they’re real problems facing real families. As an Independent, I’m focused on practical solutions, not partisan talking points. I will listen to voters, work with anyone who has a good idea, and keep the priorities of Hoosiers at the center of every decision. My campaign is about service, common sense, and giving voters a voice that isn’t controlled by party politics.Strengthening Families and Communities: Every Hoosier deserves stability, opportunity, and a fair shot. I’m committed to strengthening Indiana schools, improving access to affordable healthcare, and supporting policies that help families build secure lives.
