Campaign website

Yakym's campaign website stated the following:

Why I’m Running.

Washington D.C. is broken. Not only has Congress failed to tackle the most pressing challenges of our day, far too often, they are making things worse. As a result, Hoosier families are hurting. In Congress, I’ll stand up to the failed Pelosi-Biden agenda that is piling up debt, driving up gas prices, fueling inflation and making our country, and our communities, less safe.

My Priorities.

Fighting Inflation and Creating More Jobs

Supporting our Veterans

Saving America from the Pelosi-Biden Failed Agenda

Supporting Law Enforcement and the Rule of Law

Balancing the Budget and Ending Wasteful Spending

Creating American Energy Independence and Lowering Energy Prices

Promoting Economic Opportunities for Working Families[2]
