Meyer Distributing’s Mike Braun Wins Indiana Republican Primary For US Senate

Meyer Distributing President and CEO Mike Braun, pictured at center, became Indiana’s Republican nominee for US Senate earlier this week, handily winning the primary election on May 8.

He won the race with 41.2 percent of the vote, defeating US Representative Rep. Luke Messer (R-IN) and Rep. Todd Rokita (R-IN), who garnered 30 percent and 28.8 percent of the vote (respectively). Braun will face US Senator Joe Donnelly (D-IN) in the general election, November 6, 2018.

This could be considered Braun’s second win over the past few months, as Meyer Distributing was named the “Warehouse Distributor of the Year” at the 2017 SEMA Show in November.

Braun started working for Meyer Body Co. in 1981, and transitioned its business from manufacturing to distribution, forming Meyer Distributing. Over the following decades, Braun grew the business into a national distribution and logistics company with 65 locations in 38 states.

Braun has also shown a commitment to public service as a member of the Jasper School Board (2004–2014) and as an Indiana State Legislator (2015–2017).
