RV Caucuses Welcome Two New Members

The Senate and House RV Caucuses are excited to welcome two of its newest members: Senator Mike Braun (R-IN) and Representative Jim Baird (R-IN-4). Braun and Baird are also two of the newest members of the Indiana Congressional Delegation, both having won elections this past fall.

The House and Senate RV Caucus Members are the champions for the RV industry and RV lifestyle on Capitol Hill who advocate on behalf of the RV industry on issues such as campground modernization, tax and trade. These members are critical to the RV industry’s success in enacting key policies. The best way to recruit new members for the caucuses is with a direct ask from RV industry members during RVs Move America Week.

Meet Senator Braun

Senator Braun and his staff have already met with members of the federal affairs team on multiple occasions to discuss key issues for the RV industry. Both Braun and his staff bring a keen business perspective to their interest in the RV industry and our issues.

Before becoming Indiana’s newest Senator, Braun was the founder and CEO of Meyer Distributing, a company he built in his hometown of Jasper that employs hundreds of Americans across the country—and is a RV Industry Association member company. Braun is an avid outdoorsman who also served as a State Representative in the Indiana General Assembly.

Meet Representative Baird

After meeting members of the federal affairs team at an Indiana Forum breakfast in DC and learning about the significant impact the RV industry makes in Indiana, Rep. Baird immediately signed up to join the House RV Caucus.

Before being elected to Congress, Rep. Baird served eight years as a State Representative in the Indiana General Assembly. During this time, he was a member of the Ways and Means Committee and played an integral role in balancing Indiana’s budget. A graduate of Perdue University, Baird is a decorated Vietnam Veteran who has been recognized with a Bronze Star with V device and two Purple Hearts.

The government affairs team looks forward to working with both offices on important issues affecting the RV industry. Welcome to the Senate and House RV Caucuses, Senator Braun and Representative Baird!
