Senator Mike Braun has visited 19 counties in one week as part of his sixth annual 92 County Tour. "This is the best part of the job: visiting Hoosiers where they live and hearing about what they really have on their mind," Braun said. "Every county has its unique challenges and opportunities, and I can’t tell you how many people come up to me to say how excited they are to see someone who represents them in their hometown. I take what I hear on my 92 County Tour with me to D.C. to stand up for Hoosiers and get results."

In Dearborn County, Senator Braun stopped by Lischgke Motors, a third-generation family-owned business. He recognized their 100th anniversary with an official Senate letter and discussed challenges related to inflation and supply chain issues.

In Union County, Senator Braun attended an Indiana Farm Bureau event where he sat down with local farmers to hear their concerns about mandates from Washington, D.C.

In Jennings County, Senator Braun met with Sheriff Kenny Freeman and his deputies. He presented Jail Commander Nichole Angelicchio with an American flag and discussed ways to support law enforcement.

In Owen County, he met with Owen County Economic Development CEO Marce King for updates on workforce development plans and toured new housing developments.

Senator Braun also visited a Centerstone location in Connersville to learn more about services provided for mental health crises and addiction.

Additionally, Senator Braun hosted community conversations with local elected officials, small business leaders, and community members in Vevay, Nashville, Brookville, Linton, and Rising Sun.
