1. What role should government play in health care overall and for special populations such as in rural and underserved areas?
Medicare should remain available. Senior citizens have already paid into the program their whole lives and should be guaranteed this health program. State and local County officials know their areas and the needs of the People better than D.C. The States should play a prominent role in the care of their underserved population in need.
2. What government action do you recommend on election security and access to voting?
This is a State issue (Article 1, Section 4 of the Constitution). I have not heard of any widespread voter fraud in the individual states so the federal government should not meddle in the elections.
3. What is the role of the government to address projected impacts of changes in our climate as caused by human activities and/or natural changes?
We, as a People, are the stewards of our planet and should do what we can to keep the earth clean and safe. We should be respectful of wildlife and nature preserves. If elected to Congress, I will endorse pro-climate bills to influence positive change around our planet without increasing taxes on the American People.
4. What are the most urgent challenges facing the communities you seek to represent and how will you address them?
The high cost of fuel, groceries, and utilities are the direct result of inept politicians. As a member of Congress, I would vote to end the wars, demand a balanced budget, and reduce the unnecessary spending. My 'Hudson Resolution to Abolish the IRS' is available for review, and I would offer this Act to the floor of the House.
5. If elected, what processes will you use to receive community input, evaluate policies and assess community needs?
I've always said that our Leaders should answer questions, hold Town Halls, and be accessible to the people. If elected to serve in Congress, I would make sure to have staff ready to answer phone calls as well as plan public forums when I'm home in my District 9.

1. What role should government play in health care overall and for special populations such as in rural and underserved areas?
Government should ensure that healthcare works for people, not profit. I support a non-profit, single payer, universal healthcare system so every American can see a doctor without fear of financial ruin. No one should have to go broke just trying to stay alive. Government must also address gaps the market fails to solve, especially in rural and underserved areas where hospital closures and provider shortages threaten access to care. A universal system would stabilize funding for clinics, hospitals, and telehealth so every community can receive reliable care regardless of income or location.
2. What government action do you recommend on election security and access to voting?
Government must protect both the security of our elections and the right of every eligible American to vote. That includes minimizing unnecessary barriers to participation. Recent proposals like the SAVE Act and similar “ballot security” measures are blatant attempts to suppress voting by making registration harder and creating new obstacles for millions of eligible voters. Instead, we should expand early voting, protect vote by mail, and ensure adequate polling places so every citizen can participate. A strong democracy protects access to the ballot rather than restricting it.
3. What is the role of the government to address projected impacts of changes in our climate as caused by human activities and/or natural changes?
Government has a responsibility to address climate change in ways that protect our economy, our communities, and future generations. The role of government is to invest in American innovation, accelerate the transition to clean energy, and build modern infrastructure that strengthens resilience to extreme weather and environmental change. We should end subsidies that distort the energy market in favor of fossil fuels and instead support American-made clean energy that creates good-paying jobs. Addressing climate change is both an environmental necessity and an economic opportunity to build a more sustainable and prosperous future.
4. What are the most urgent challenges facing the communities you seek to represent and how will you address them?
The most urgent challenge is enforcing the rule of law and defending our democracy from those who believe they are above it.
We are also facing major policy failures that are making life harder for working families and undermining opportunity for the next generation. Healthcare costs are out of control, wages have lagged behind productivity, and too many families live paycheck to paycheck. Young Americans face rising housing, childcare, and education costs while the promise of doing better than their parents is slipping away.
We need progressive policies to shift opportunity back to working families (see bradmeyer.org)
5. If elected, what processes will you use to receive community input, evaluate policies and assess community needs?
If elected, my job will start with listening. The role of a representative is to understand and reflect the values, concerns, and perspectives of the people they serve. You cannot represent a community if you are not hearing directly from it.
I will hold regular town halls across the district, meet with workers, businesses, educators, and community leaders, and maintain a strong constituent services office so people can be heard and helped.
I will use that input, along with data and expert analysis, to evaluate policies and ensure they are actually improving people’s lives.

1. What role should government play in health care overall and for special populations such as in rural and underserved areas?
Government's role: guarantee access, not run the exam room. Care decisions belong between patient and provider.
I've drafted it into law. The Main Street Health Compact Act delivers a public option in every county, bans denials for medically recommended care, and funds it from existing appropriations — no new taxes.
For rural and underserved areas, the Rural Mobile Health Access Act deploys mobile clinics to HRSA-designated shortage counties. Companion bills close gaps for seniors (Medicare), working families (Medicaid), and veterans with dementia.

2. What government action do you recommend on election security and access to voting?
Election integrity and voter access aren't opposing goals. They're two separate questions with two separate answers.
Verification: yes, at registration. Use the I-9 — the same form every working American already fills out, accepting a menu of documents. Let the Postal Service, senior centers, and libraries serve as verifiers so nobody drives an hour to a county clerk.
Friction at the polling place: no. If registration is verified, any government-issued photo ID, two forms of non-photo ID with name and address, or a utility bill plus bank statement should suffice.
The reason we don't have this bill is the loudest voices on both sides need the fight more than the fix. I'd rather have the fix.
3. What is the role of the government to address projected impacts of changes in our climate as caused by human activities and/or natural changes?
Climate risk is economic risk. Farmers see it in shifting growing seasons, insurers see it in premiums, and every Hoosier sees it in their utility bill. Government's role is to manage the risk honestly and build the infrastructure that reduces it.
I've drafted the Local Energy Act to accelerate distributed generation — rural solar, small wind, community microgrids — funded from existing DOE and USDA rural development appropriations. It keeps energy dollars in Indiana instead of exporting them, and it hardens the grid against the extreme weather that's already here.
Adaptation and mitigation aren't partisan. They're planning. The government that refuses to plan is the one that leaves the bill on your kitchen table.
4. What are the most urgent challenges facing the communities you seek to represent and how will you address them?
IN-09 faces four urgent challenges: healthcare access in counties with no hospital within 25 miles, broadband gaps that lock rural workers out of the modern economy, family farms squeezed by consolidation and repair monopolies, and seniors on fixed incomes losing ground to property tax creep.
Each has a drafted bill. Rural Mobile Health Access Act for care deserts. Rural Last-Mile Broadband and Workforce Hubs Act for connectivity. Family Farm Bill and Rural Equipment Freedom Act for agriculture. Senior Property Tax Relief Act for fixed-income homeowners.
All funded from existing appropriations. All published at floyd2026.com. Positions are cheap. Statutes are the receipt.
5. If elected, what processes will you use to receive community input, evaluate policies and assess community needs?
The Congress App is the process. Every bill posted in plain language. Every resident of IN-09 — voter or not — can weigh in through secure, verifiable input. My vote in Congress matches the verified will of the district, with a public audit trail connecting constituent input to voting outcomes.
Backing it up on the ground: a Hardinsburg district office and satellite locations staffed by people hired from the district, not Washington operatives. Staff spend one day a week working from a different community in IN-09. No PAC money. No lobbyist meetings.
Community input isn't a suggestion box. It's the mechanism that determines the vote.
