Stu Barnes-Israel is a U.S. Army combat veteran and a fifth-generation Hoosier who was awarded a Bronze Star and Army Commendation Medal with Valor for his service in Afghanistan. Barnes-Israel earned a B.A. in Political Science & Economics from Butler in 2009. In addition, he earned his MBA from the Wharton School of the University of Pennsylvania in 2018. Most recently, Barnes-Israel has used his military experience and business education helping some of the nation’s largest companies create American jobs, and compete successfully in the global economy.
  • I will put our families first, ensure every hard-earned tax dollar is spent responsibly, and fight against the big spending policies that drive up inflation and make it harder to pay our bills.
  • I will fight to secure the southern border and prevent the flow of illegal drugs into our communities.
  • I will fight for our Second Amendment rights and individual liberties.
I believe it's critical that we care for members of the armed services when they return from service. Too many times, we forget about our heroes in uniform aster they return. We need to ensure they have the proper mental and physical health care and more effectively bridge the transition from military to civilian life and employment.

It is critical that we pass a balanced budget and introduce meaningful, long-term economic reforms—not short term spending plans. Our economy is in crisis; it’s not working for everyone, and it’s certainly not working for rural America. We're facing an inflation crisis and a supply chain crisis worsened by bad policy from Washington and this administration who wants to keep spending irresponsibly and driving up the deficit to kick the can down the road to our grandchildren.
