- Stop radicalization in the schools and empower parents
- Preserve our constitutional rights
- Revive economic prosperity
As a father of two young children and a teacher of history, Micah Beckwith deeply cares about the next generation. Like you, he is appalled at the radicalization happening in our schools that only further divides us as a community. As our next Lt. Governor, Micah will make it a priority to get politics and the woke agenda out of our classrooms. He supports parental rights and stopping the teaching of Critical Race Theory and the transgender agenda. Micah believes that our children should receive a quality education that prepares them to compete in the new global marketplace.
Integrity, honesty, and work ethic top my list. Moreover, I need every elected official must be a Constitutionalist. They need to know the God’s truth and be a servant leader who puts people first.
President Ronald Reagan. He was a tremendous leader who got us out of the terrible recession and
restored prosperity to our nation. His peace through strength policy led to the collapse of the Soviet
Union and the return of our hostages. As the next Lt. Governor, I will embrace his positive leadership
that restored the American dream.
Two of my favorite movies are Braveheart and the Patriot. I am also an admirer of the Reagan Diaries for literature.
I am a servant leader who puts people first. I am a constitutionalist, hard working, and honest. As a history teacher, I know the great history of this nation so we are not doomed to make the same mistakes. I am a father of 2 young children, so education is a top priority for me.
As Lt. Governor, I made a positive difference in defending our liberty, restoring people’s faith in our system of government, and made Indiana a better place to raise our children.
The election of George H. Bush to the White House is one of my first historical memories. I was 6 years
old at the time.
At the age of 16, I worked at a driving range mowing lawns and rake up golf balls. It was a fun high
school job that I held for 2 years.
The Bible
Learn to Fly
I have been blessed with a wonderful family. I work every day to make a positive difference in people’s lives and I don’t focus on the negative. However, having spoken out of several issues, I became the target of the cancel culture which has reinforced my strong beliefs in our constitution and bill of rights.
I believe that an elected official should have their core convictions in place – not put their finger into the wind to decided what direction to go. As a candidate, he or she owes it to the voters to tell voters where they stand on the issues and their core beliefs.

- I will fight for the constitution and stand for constitutional values.
- I will defend the right to life and every American's right to religious freedom.
- I will fight to defend our nation's borders, and to make our community a pro-business district-always working to cut taxes, cut regulations and spend taxpayer dollars wisely.
Foreign policy and the continued stand of the United States as the world's leader in freedom, opportunity and commerce.
Economic policy that promotes small business and entrepreneurship by the promotion of tax cuts and deregulation of job killing red tape.
Healthcare policy that cuts costs for families and opens up the free market and competition that will drive down costs and increase quality of care.
Religious liberty for all Americans to worship how they see fit and to protect our "freedom OF religion" in the public square, not the "freedom FROM religion" in the public square.
Ronald Reagan. He was a bold voice for liberty across the world.
"The Wealth of Nations" by Adam Smith, and "The Reagan Diaries" by Ronald Reagan.
Honesty, integrity and a true understanding of servant-leadership. Also, a deep understanding of our nation's history and our Constitution.
I will fight for my community and put their needs first. I see people where they are, will listen to their needs and strive to be a champion they can be proud of.
To be accessible and engaged in the district that the congressperson represents. Making as much time for the people of the district as possible to hear their concerns and desires for our government and then heading out to Washington to represent those values.
I would like to leave a legacy where people will say that I truly cared more for my community members and their families than any other politician they have seen in office.
C.S. Lewis' "Chronicles of Narnia" because it is a brilliant metaphor of our purpose and calling as children of God.
Captain America.
Wrestling with God's direction in my life and learning when to listen and when to speak.
The increasing debt and standing up to China before it is to late.
Two years is absolutely the right term length. It keeps the representatives tied to the people of the district. If terms were longer, I worry we would never see our representatives until it was an election year.
I absolutely agree with term limits. I have already signed the "US Term Limit Pledge" committing to backing legislation that enacts term limits for members of Congress.
