Who are you? Tell us about yourself.

I represent portions of Allen County in the Indiana Senate, where I've earned a reputation for my effectiveness and principled, conservative positions. I have been married for more than four decades to Dr. Steve Brown and together we have seven children.

Please list below 3 key messages of your campaign. What are the main points you want voters to remember about your goals for your time in office?

Keeping Indiana affordable: I will continue to advocate for zero-based state budgets, cutting budgets before raising taxes, fiscal restraint, free market principles and limited government.Safety and Security: This legislative session I authored a major immigration enforcement law, Indiana's FAIRNESS Act, to boldly support President Trump's immigration reform measures. I look forward to continuing to author legislation to thwart our foreign adversaries and loosen their grip on Hoosiers.More accessible health care: For four consecutive years I've passed a health care reform bill, and I will do that again next year to lower costs, improve care and increase transparency in health care.

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about?

Northeast Indiana Values: I also want to ensure the values of Northeast Indiana are represented at the Statehouse, particularly when it comes to biological truth, parental rights and the dignity of innocent, human life.

What organizations or individuals have endorsed your campaign?

President Donald Trump, Indiana Right to Life, Right to Life of Northeast Indiana, Indiana Family Action, American Family Association of Indiana, Indiana Professional Fire Fighters, Hoosiers for Quality Education and Indiana Farm Bureau AgELECT

The following issues were listed on Brown's campaign website. For a full list of campaign themes, click here.

Wasteful Spending: We need leaders in Washington who are willing to say, “enough is enough.” I am running for Congress because I’m willing to fight the spending spree that D.C. politicians are on with our money. I will oppose the liberal policies that are running up our national debt. I will stand up to Washington special interests who continue to demand funding for their pet projects. There’s a reason I’m not the choice of Washington insiders.

Protecting Traditional Family Values: Strong families are the foundation of a strong nation. As a mom of seven, past president of the Boys and Girls Club Board, educator and former school board member for various institutions, I know children thrive with a strong family foundation. Parents, not government bureaucrats, are in the best position to make decisions about their children’s upbringing.

National Security: One core function of the federal government is to provide a strong national defense. Recent foreign policy failures by the Obama administration remind us why we need strong and vocal leaders in Washington who will never apologize for our values and will work to make America respected around the world while remaining strong in the face of a threatening world. We must fund and train our military to respond to radical Islamic terrorists before they can wreak havoc on innocent Americans. We must secure our borders immediately. We must also stand with our allies, especially Israel, a valuable friend in a vulnerable region.

Obamacare: Daily I have a glimpse into the challenges facing the health care system, as my husband of 33 years is a practicing cardiologist at Parkview Health. Obamacare is costing jobs, hurting families and stifling business growth. I believe we must end Obamacare immediately. True health care reform must guarantee the patient doctor relationship and restore free market principles in our nation’s healthcare system. The federal government must also empower states to make health care decisions that are best for their residents.

2nd Amendment: The freedom to keep and bear arms, as provided in our U.S. Constitution’s 2nd Amendment, must be protected. I am a strong supporter of gun rights and oppose federal efforts that encroach on our national freedom.

Brown's website highlighted the following campaign themes:[8]

Jobs and the Economy

Excerpt: "Policies out of Washington are adversely affecting our job rate, so we need to advance business-friendly policies that will allow us promote job creation, despite Washington."

Government Spending

Excerpt: "Government should fund the fundamentals, with legislators being wise stewards of your hard-earned tax dollars. We hear about reckless spending coming out of Washington every day; it’s encouraging to see spending on the state level that is balanced, just like how Hoosier families and businesses operate."

Family Values

Excerpt: "I believe the state can support families through positive changes to the tax code and voluntary pre-K education options that empower parents to decide what’s best for their own children.... I believe science has undeniably shown us that human life begins at fertilization and is deserving of our protection.... I support marriage as a union between one man and one woman. I believe the future of marriage in Indiana should be decided by voters, not unelected judges, activists or big business."

Health Care

Excerpt: "Obamacare is costing jobs, hurting families and stifling business growth. A one-size-fits-all health care mandate should not come from Washington. States need the freedom to make health care decisions that are best for their residents."

Education

Excerpt: "I believe decision-making authority needs to be in the hands of parents, teachers, local school boards and the state. This means we need to stay untangled from the federal mandates of Common Core and oppose standards that do nothing to raise academic outcomes."

2nd Amendment

Excerpt: "The freedom to keep and bear arms, as provided in our U.S. Constitution’s 2nd Amendment, must be protected. I am a strong supporter of gun rights, and I believe a state’s gun laws should not encroach on our national freedom."

Taxes

Excerpt: "Washington’s tax policies are too high and stifle job growth nationally, but with the right tax climate here in Indiana, we can compete globally."

Energy

Excerpt: "Currently, we import more energy than we export. The state legislature must act within its bounds to promote safe energy development in Indiana."

Transportation

Excerpt: "Good government uses taxpayer dollars wisely and funds the fundamentals – and I believe good roads and responsible transportation infrastructure projects are worthy of our investment. Tax revenues must be applied fairly so that Northeast Indiana benefits, as does the rest of the state."
