The Story

From the Living Room to the Ballot

A friend from the Indiana State House sent Sarah an email encouraging her to get on the ballot. Something she couldn't ignore moved in her heart.

“I felt like a sinner at a Billy Graham Crusade,” she says. “My heart was beating and I knew I had no other option but to rise from my seat and head for the altar.”

She searched to see who else was on the ballot to challenge the incumbent — no one. After intense conversations with her husband Josh and their children, they said yes.

“As a mom of 15 and grandma of 5, I sense a deep realization that the responsibility to steward the American Dream and pass the torch to future generations belongs to me. I hope you feel the same.”
