NEW: Mike Braun's Running Mate Outlines Plan to Fire Indiana State Employees Over Email Signatures

Today, new reporting revealed that Mike Braun's running mate, Indiana's GOP nominee for lieutenant governor Micah Beckwith, is running on a plan to dig through emails and "fire state workers with email signature pronouns."The Advocate added: "His remarks are part of a broader attack on LGBTQ+ rights and personal freedom in Indiana, raising serious concerns about the future of workplace inclusion and the state's economy."

Beckwith has recently faced backlash for violent and unhinged rhetoric, saying Indiana Democrats are the "Jezebel Spirit." Braun has fully embraced Beckwith and his toxic positions, declaring to his running mate that "everything you believe in, I have as well."

"From reproductive freedom to the freedom of speech, Mike Braun and Micah Beckwith have made it clear that they are running to restrict the personal freedoms of Hoosiers, and they aren't shy about it," said DGA National Press Secretary Devon Cruz. "Instead of putting forth plans to address the biggest issues facing Hoosiers, this extreme ticket is focused on toxic, job-killing positions that threaten the livelihoods of workers and the state's economy."
