Expand all | Collapse all

Max Engling is a devoted public servant and Congressional candidate, who champions conservative principles: fiscal responsibility, limited government, family values, and the rule of law.

As a Christian and family-oriented Hoosier, he's committed to reducing government intrusion, fostering prosperity for Indiana families, and bringing sanity back to Washington. With over a decade of experience in conservative public service, he's dedicated to defending the sanctity of life, securing our borders, and curbing reckless spending.

Max Engling embodies faith, family, and a brighter future for Indiana and the United States.

  • Reducing inflation and renewing American energy
  • Protecting family values and limiting government intrusion
  • Securing the border and securing our towns and cities

Bringing down the cost of living.
The federal government has lost it's way economically; we need to cut spending in Washington and renew American energy. The current plan of raising interest rates only moves the economic pain from one place to another.

Family values.
Parents and the nuclear family are under attack. Parents are the primary authority of their children and best equipped to make decisions on their behalf. We need to protect the unborn and then care for and love our children, mothers, and families at every stage.

Getting the government out of our lives.
Washington keeps inventing new ways to reach into our lives, businesses, families, and bank accounts. We need to limit the size and reach of government and make it clear that we are better off with fewer regulations and less intrusion from DC.
