WASHINGTON – Senator and Governor-elect Mike Braun gave his farewell speech Wednesday on the Senate floor.
“I’ve lived the American dream and want more Hoosiers to have that opportunity. Touring all 92 counties yearly, I’ve met so many Hoosiers and heard their challenges and victories large and small. It’s a truly incredible state filled with the world’s most goodhearted, hardworking people. It was my honor to serve them here in this body, and I can’t wait to continue the adventure back home again in Indiana as your next Governor,” said Governor-elect Mike Braun.
Indiana’s senior Senator, Senator Todd Young, wished Senator Braun well in his next endeavor as Governor.
“Mike, I have to say – the Senate’s loss is Indiana’s gain. You have certainly served with distinction here, but I know you’ve always prided yourself – appropriately so – on your executive responsibilities and achievements over the years, and now the people of Indiana will benefit from a different type of service and we’re all very much looking forward to seeing what is next. It’s already started, I know,” said Senator Todd Young.
Senator Braun’s close ally in the Senate, Senator Rick Scott of Florida, also spoke about Braun’s time in the Senate serving Hoosiers.
“I’m very appreciative of Mike’s friendship, I’m very appreciative of their hard work. I appreciate his tenacity: I can tell you they’re always going to live within their means because Mike will not waste a dime,” said Senator Rick Scott.
