Expand all | Collapse all

I was born and raised in Indiana and have worked here most of my life. I was radically saved and transformed by God in 2004 and have never been the same since. I confess and proclaim that Christ is King and consider Him as the utmost precious relationship I have in this life. I am blessed to be a husband, a father of three precious boys and leader in my church where I serve as an elder, an evangelist and a Sunday School teacher.

I have served the Shelbyville community since I moved to the area in 2009, being a chaplain at the local hospital for four years. I have served Hoosiers and our country for a decade as a soldier in the Army, Army Reserves and National Guard. I am a combat veteran who was injured by an IED strike early on in my deployment to Afghanistan. I am a patriot and I've willingly given my blood for this great country in which I was blessed to be born! I am excited to be able to serve my fellow Hoosiers again in the Indiana Statehouse, nobly fighting the battles that still need to be fought for Hoosiers daily!

I am also an accomplished entrepreneur who have started and managed many businesses, and, being successfully self-employed, I have helped fellow Hoosiers in being financially independent in this way, sacrificing however I can to help them succeed.

I am a fighter and he is willing and able to fight for your God-given freedoms!
  • I will fight for our health freedom which includes our religious freedoms, banning vaccine/masks mandates and shutdowns
  • I will endeavor to ban the false teachings of Critical Race Theory and Social Emotional Learning in all levels of society.
  • I will be a tireless defender of our Second Amendment and Article I Section 32 rights.
I am personally passionate about health/religious freedom, proper education of our children and everyone's lives, from conception until natural death. I believe you can tell most about where a society is heading by how it treats the most innocent and vulnerable amongst us. I believe natural and inalienable rights (life, liberty, private property) are under attack. On average, 22 Hoosier babies face infanticide. This needs to stop!
First and foremost: the LORD JESUS Christ. There is no one like Him. Not only did He create everyone of us, but the Word of GOD became a man and lived a perfect life for us all to follow. He gave the example of a servant leader. Not only one that would wash the feet of His followers, but also one that would valiantly and courageously stand up to those who would do evil and abuse those who were made in the image of GOD.
The Bible and Understanding the Times. In particular, the Law and Politics chapters.
They must be committed to the "Rule of Law" rather than the "rule of men". Meaning, natural law, or that which is derived from the Lawgiver. In Indiana, we recognize that we are grateful to ALMIGHTY GOD for the free exercise of the right to choose our own form of government in the preamble to our Constitution. This is immediately followed by Article 1, Section 1 who declares that all people are created equal; that they they endowed by their CREATOR with certain inalienable rights. In other words, we recognize we have no foundation for rights being protected by law except they be founded in our Creator. An elected official must be committed to following natural law and not the whims and fancies of whatever men prefer. Our elected officials must be committed to righteousness and humility. They must be loyal to our country and its principles of freedom. They must have a sense of duty to fulfill their oath or solemn affirmation to defend the Constitution against all enemies: foreign and domestic. They must respect God and their fellow image-bearers. They must be selfless in their service. They must honor God and render due honor to mankind. They must have integrity and be the same in the dark as they are in the light. They must have courage. They must boldly stand against wickedness and boldly stand for righteousness.
I have a strong desire for goodness and righteousness and love for people. I will not quit when it comes to fighting for what is right. I will bear long with my fellow legislators and seek to understand their viewpoint fully and change mine if I find it to be in error. I despise (and want to guard against) hypocrisy. I have an attention to detail and am committed to following the text of our Constitutions. I can be tremendously focused on completing whatever task is before me and to do it right as if doing it for God and not man.
The core responsibilities are for them to know the Federal and State Constitutions and ensure that every bill that is filed or is voted on does abide by the Constitutions.
I would like to leave the legacy of a warrior who loved his God and loved people and was a good and faithful steward of all he was given. One who was a servant-leader who led many to behold the beauty of God and let many to righteousness. One who only lived for things that were worth dying for.
The first major event I remember was 9/11. I was 21 years old at the time.
I worked for my dad and helped box prescription bags, tape them, put a shipping label on them, put them on pallets and get them ready for a truck to pick up for shipping. I was 14 and had the job for at least a year, maybe two.
The Bible: it has the words of life and truth that has made me free.
I have no desire to be any fictional character.
God of Wonders.
The temptation to sin and/or entertain bad thoughts. We all have this issue, but I count it as the greatest struggle in my life that I fight against every day (with the help of God, Who does help me to overcome).
Where both are committed to the Constitution and inalienable, natural, rights. Both should be motivating of one another to strive to codify laws that assist our society to more adhere to the Constitutional principles of freedom and liberty, limited government and general welfare and safety.
"Woke" ideology and a complete dismantling of what our state was founded upon: belief in God, the sacred rights of conscience, liberty, the disregard for private property rights and a free market.
Benefits:

- The second house being eliminated may provide for checks and balances if all acts had to be done in the open before all the public
- If conference committees are done away with, the actions of them would no longer be concealed
- If bills get a public hearing then it would prevent hasty legislation from going through
- It could cut government cost by reducing the membership in the legislative body
- It could be more efficient than the two-house system
- Committees could be cut down and less bills could be introduced
- If it were non-partisan it could prevent a bad candidate being voted on simply because of their party and allow candidates with unique positions to be elected who could focus on local issues and be wrapped up in potential national party agendas.

Drawbacks:
- It may prevent some checks and balances
- The Supreme Court and governor could choose not to rule or veto measures deemed improper
- The people may not serve as a check if they are for the abuse of powers
- If bills do not get a public hearing then hasty (and bad) legislation could be passed

- It apparently has problems with keeping taxes low
It depends. Yes, if it helps them to understand how to streamline the process for good. If a state legislator has experience in how the process works but stands for evil things, their experience is only helping them more efficiently implement wickedness and is not to be desired. Their previous experience must be coupled with integrity and making good decisions or else their experience is not beneficial.
Yes, because in every institution you must learn to live with, love and seek to help and edify those you work with for the betterment of the organization.
I would be for a simple process that prevents Gerry-mandering. I agree with the research of Doug Spencer in that it should be completely transparent. It should focus on communities (and not divide them). It should be adjusted for prison populations. The timing could be adjusted (to use population projections to draw districts now that go into effect in a few years). We should seek independence in giving redistricting authority to individuals who aren't beholden to a particular elected official (it should be carefully managed with safeguards on the body's size, that it accurately reflects the diversity of the jurisdiction). Lastly, "superdistricts" could be utilized when necessary.
Judiciary; Family, Children and Human Affairs; Veterans Affairs and Public Safety
N/A.
Ron Paul (in a large, but not complete, degree).
No, but if the LORD leads me to be I will.
Yes, there are many. One was a man who lost his thirty-three year old son just this year and speaking of the grief he and his wife were going through.
Probably recently it is about myself. I explain I have been married since 2017 and I joke that I do not know why I am an adjuster because I'm not good at math but with my wife I sure can multiply. We have had three boys since we've been married :)
Yes. The legislature is more directly answerable to the people and can answer for more people than the Governor or Supreme Court of the state.
No. That government is best which is limited. It should be limited to absolutely essential principles and truths. There should be no compromise that is either necessary or desire at the expense of truth.

2018

Campbell provided the following description of his political philosophy to Ballotpedia:

“ I believe that government is not to dictate our consciences and is to be limited to protect our life, liberty, and property. I chose to run for office to fight for practical state sovereignty against the overreach of our federal government, the abolition of abortion, and the promotion and defense of the proper jurisdictions of state, family, and church/religious organizations. I believe a society will astronomically thrive under such conditions.[3][4] ”
—Luke Campbell, 2018

Candidate Connection

Luke William Campbell participated in Ballotpedia's candidate survey on March 14, 2018. The survey questions appear in bold, and Luke William Campbell's responses follow below.[5]

What would be your top three priorities, if elected?

“ 1) Limit government while establishing state sovereignty

2) Abolish human abortion; Establish personhood amendment in our State Constitution
3) Defend family government and religious liberty[6][4]

”

What areas of public policy are you personally passionate about? Why?

“ Increased government spending/taxes for services which should be privatized as well as legalized abortion. Why: government increase leads to a monopoly of potentially poor service and increased taxes, which inevitably leads to loss of freedom and economic growth. Abortion is the intentional ending of an innocent human life and is, therefore, murder. It saddens me (and many others) greatly that this is legalized which goes against our government's role of protecting the life, liberty and property, especially of the most innocent and helpless among us.Cite error: Invalid <ref> tag; invalid names, e.g. too many[4] ”
