Born and raised in Fort Wayne, Nathan Gotsch is an educator with extensive experience in

communications and media. After building a successful career in the entertainment industry, he began teaching at his alma mater, Concordia Lutheran High School. He also served as a communications consultant for a health-based non-profit foundation, working to improve mental health awareness in Northeast Indiana.

In 2021, Gotsch founded an organization to fight the pandemic in northeast Indiana by using one-on-one conversations between family and friends to spread vital information about preventative measures and life-saving treatment options. Nathan lives in Fort Wayne, not far from his childhood home.

  • Fighting Corruption: Nathan is running to serve our country, not a political party.
  • Fighting Inflation: Nathan running to fix an unfair, unequal system.
  • Fighting for Integrity: Nathan is running to restore a sense of community.
If the last few years have taught us anything, it’s that most politicians in Washington spend more time currying favor with the most powerful factions in their party than doing what’s best for America.

George Washington himself warned of the dangers of political parties in his famous farewell address, cautioning that a system controlled by them “agitates the community with ill founded jealousies and false alarms, kindles the animosity of one part against another, foments occasionally riot and insurrection.”

More than 225 years later, Washington’s worst fears have been realized. That’s why we need a truly independent voice to represent our district who will put what’s best for the country above all else.
