Campaign website
Shreve’s campaign website stated the following:
| “ |
Secure the Border. We must secure our southern border and fix our country’s broken immigration policies. It’s the most important issue facing America today. The Biden Administration is unwilling and unable to fix the lawlessness, and the effects are devastating. We must complete the border wall, reform our immigration system, end catch-and-release policies, and put an end to the fentanyl trafficking that’s flowing over our southern border. America can do this. Our current leadership chooses not to. It's past time for a change. Manage Government Spending & Rein in Inflation. The Biden Administration’s inflationary spending cannot continue. As a businessman, I grew my company, Storage Express, from the ground up and into the largest Indiana self-storage company. Over three decades, I built a talented team. I employed hundreds of Hoosiers. That took steady financial stewardship and the management of a sound budget. I will bring my life experience to Congress. I’ll fight for a balanced budget and reduce reckless giveaway spending that is driving up prices that burden Hoosier families. Back the Blue. I stepped up to fight the lawlessness and out-of-control crime that had taken over our state’s capital city. I will continue to back our men and women in law enforcement and fight to end soft-on-crime policies and the revolving door of crime. Our prosecutors need to prosecute. And I’ll ensure our police have the tools and resources they need to keep us safe. Support Our Troops. Our nation is under threat like never before. I’ll vote to ensure our military remains the strongest and most technologically advantaged fighting force in the world. And I’ll advocate for our veterans to ensure they receive the benefits they’ve earned. Protect the Unborn. I’m a pro-life Catholic. I believe we must do all we can to protect human life. I will work to protect the unborn and the health of expectant mothers. Protect the 2nd Amendment. The right to bear arms is enshrined in our U.S. Constitution. I will support the 2nd Amendment in Congress and advocate for policies that promote responsible gun ownership. When I became a gun owner years ago, I completed an NRA-authorized firearms training and gun safety program. That’s the very sort of personal responsibility-centered policy I will advocate for. Support for Farmers. American farmers face challenges from high fuel costs and burdensome government regulations. I’ll stand up to regulatory overreach and advocate for our Hoosier farmers. And I'll work to keep our trade and export markets open to our Indiana ag producers. Advocate for Small Businesses. I’m a business owner and entrepreneur. I started Storage Express in my senior year of college. We grew it into the largest self-storage company headquartered in Indiana. We worked across the Midwest and in over 40 Indiana counties, including building 26 locations in Indiana’s 6th District. I know what it’s like to take risks, get up every day and work hard, and keep your commitments to your employees, your customers and your lenders. I’ll be an advocate for our small business community. I will support Hoosier job creators. Support Israel. The events of Oct. 7, 2023, made it very clear Hamas must be eliminated. Israel suffered unimaginable atrocities at the hands of the terror group. Israel has a right to defend herself and eliminate Hamas. The United States should continue to support Israel in this effort politically and through continued aid, while also empowering Israel to fight the war on its terms. The United States must work to help secure an agreement that safely returns all Israeli and American hostages. Protect Against the Chinese Communist Party. The CCP poses a serious threat to the United States and our national security. For 70 years, the United States led the world in science, innovation and technology. China is stealing our trade secrets, our intellectual property and our technological innovations. I will support legislation that strengthens our national security, holds China accountable, and advances the United States’ leadership in technology and innovation. Make the U.S. a Leader in Digital Innovation. Congress and the Biden Administration have failed to prepare the U.S. for the growing digital economy. I’ll work to provide certainty and stability to the industry through clear and transparent regulation, so cryptocurrency innovation remains anchored on U.S. shores and Hoosiers can invest and transact with confidence. I’ll pursue future-oriented, fiscally sound monetary policies, and work to avoid burdensome or unnecessary Security and Exchange Commission regulations concerning cryptocurrencies and other block-chain tools.[8] |

Delegate allocation
Indiana had 57 delegates at the 2016 Republican National Convention. Of this total, 27 were district-level delegates (three for each of the state's nine congressional districts) pledged to adhere to the results of the presidential preference primary in their respective congressional districts. Indiana's pledged Republican delegates were allocated on a winner-take-all basis; the candidate who received the greatest number of votes in a given district won all of that district's delegates.[10][11]
Of the remaining 30 delegates, 27 served at large. These delegates were allocated on a winner-take-all basis; the candidate who won the greatest share of the statewide vote in the primary was allocated all of the at-large delegates. In addition, three national party leaders (identified on the chart below as RNC delegates) served as bound delegates to the Republican National Convention. The RNC delegates were required to pledge their support to the winner of the state's primary.[10][11]
