As first reported in the Cheat Sheet, a former aide to to former House Speaker Kevin McCarthy is getting into the race in Indiana’s 5th Congressional District.
Today, committed conservative Max Engling, announced his campaign for Indiana’s 5th congressional district following the announcement from Victoria Spartz that she is not seeking reelection. A native of central Indiana and a graduate of Indiana University-Purdue University Indianapolis (IUPUI), Engling announced he is running for Congress to “help restore our country and fight for conservative Christian values that are being neglected in the nation’s capital.”
“This country is on the wrong track; we need an unabashed fighter who can stop the Democrats and help restore our country,” stated Engling. “I refuse to watch us fall apart – I am committed to working relentlessly for you and our shared values.”
After helping Republicans secure a majority in Congress, Engling started as an intern on Capitol Hill, eventually rising through the ranks to become the Director of Member Services for the Speaker of the House. In that role, he was the Speaker’s delegate with the entire Republican Conference and worked directly with every Republican Representative to guide them and their staff on how to best listen, communicate, and work effectively for their constituents.
“I’m not a career politician, but I’ve been to Washington, and I have seen the good and the bad inside the swamp. I am committed to defending the Constitution, protecting the unborn, putting parents first, ending overspending and Biden’s dangerous policies, and securing the border. This isn’t about the next job, this is about my family, your family, and our home.”
