Jamison Carrier is an entrepreneur, a man of deep faith, and a husband, stepfather, and grandfather who knows firsthand how the crisis at the border is devastating Indiana families.

Jamison Carrier grew up in Richmond as the youngest of five children. His father worked in the local factories, and as the factories closed down and moved to Mexico, Jamison saw the devastation of the local economy. Jamison graduated high school at 16 and immediately went to work installing windows for a Richmond glass company, which he would eventually go on to buy. He joined the RV industry with Tom Raper RV, set records with Camping World, and launched his own company, Relentless Dealer Services. In April of 2022, the crisis at the border once again devastated Jamison Carrier’s family: He and his wife Kathy lost their son Joey to fentanyl poisoning. Through faith in God and the support of the community at Grace Assembly, Jamison and Kathy were able to endure the loss with a renewed resolve to improve the lives of others. They lead “Cowboy Church,” which holds services at rodeos across Indiana and are active with Convoy of Hope, Million Meal Movement, Teen Challenge, and The People Helping People Network. He also serves on the elder board at his church.

Jamison and Kathy live in Greenwood. They enjoy spending time with their family, daughters Tori and Trisha, and their six grandchildren.
  • Secure the Border: Because of our open border policies, families across our state are being affected by an increase in crime, human trafficking, and some of the deadliest drugs known to man. I’ll work to prioritize border security, enforce existing immigration laws, and implement merit-based systems to ensure that immigration benefits both the economy and the nation's security.
  • Protecting Our Freedoms: Our national security is paramount, and supporting our troops is foundational to preserving the strength and integrity of our nation. We must ensure our military is at the ready using cutting-edge technology and an unwavering commitment to providing our armed forces with the resources they need to defend our freedoms and deter potential threats to our homeland.
  • Unleash American Energy: Unleashing American energy not only bolsters our economy - it is crucial for ensuring our national security. By tapping into our vast domestic energy resources and implementing an all of the above approach, we can reduce our dependence on foreign oil, strengthen our energy independence, and safeguard our nation from threats abroad.
1. Secure our borders

2. Unleash American Energy to fuel our economy
3. Stop reckless spending in Washington and balance our budget
4. Continue policies that advocate for peace through strength
5. Support our military, police officers and first responders
6. Enact term limits

7. Fight for the 2nd Amendment

Campaign website

Carrier’s campaign website stated the following:

SECURE THE BORDER
Because of our open border policies, families across our state are being affected by an increase in crime, human trafficking, and some of the deadliest drugs known to man. I’ll work to prioritize border security, enforce existing immigration laws, and implement merit-based systems to ensure that immigration benefits both the economy and the nation's security.

Protecting Our Freedoms
Our national security is paramount, and supporting our troops is foundational to preserving the strength and integrity of our nation. We must ensure our military is at the ready using cutting-edge technology and an unwavering commitment to providing our armed forces with the resources they need to defend our freedoms and deter potential threats to our homeland.

Unleash American Energy
Unleashing American energy not only bolsters our economy - it is crucial for ensuring our national security. By tapping into our vast domestic energy resources and implementing an all of the above approach, we can reduce our dependence on foreign oil, strengthen our energy independence, and safeguard our nation from threats abroad.

America Must Always Come First
As an America First, Trump conservative, I will always fight to protect our interests before the interests of others. That means securing our border, unleashing energy independence, ensuring our tax dollars are spent wisely at home, and keeping us out of endless wars.

Less Government, More Free-Market
With any legislation before my desk, I will always fight for free-market principles, lower taxes, and reduced government regulations to foster business growth, create jobs, and stimulate economic prosperity.

Protect your 2nd Amendment Rights
I will fight every day to protect our constitutional right to bear arms and ensure that it is never infringed upon.

Support the Sanctity of Life
As a Christian, I will always fight for the sanctity of human life, promoting alternatives such as adoption and seeking to protect the rights of the unborn.

Stop Reckless Spending
As a businessman, I’ve created budgets and lived within my means. That is what our federal government must do. I’ll fight for fiscal responsibility, balanced budgets, and prudent spending to safeguard the nation's financial stability for future generations.

Term limits
As a strong believer in term limits, we must prevent the entrenchment of career politicians, promote fresh ideas, and ensure a more responsive and accountable government that truly represents the will of the people as our Founders intended.

Unmatched Service to Constituents
If given the opportunity to serve, I'll prioritize accessibility, responsiveness, and effectiveness to address the unique needs and concerns of those who elected us to represent them.[2]
