On Wednesday, Congressman Marlin Stutzman (IN-03) released the following statement regarding Donald Trump becoming the presumptive Republican nominee:

Our country is drowning: heavy government regulation is slowing our economy, polarizing political leaders halting our legislative progress and enemies around the globe successfully preying on innocent Americans with no presidential leadership or solution to stop them. It's time to shake up Washington and look outside the box to fix our government’s spending problem, eliminate ISIS and return our nation’s jobs stolen by China, Iran and Russia. America is desperate for a leader who will revitalize this stagnate economy and most importantly, re-establish the opportunity to attain the American Dream. Donald Trump’s voice is resonating with Americans who feel their voice and country has been lost #HesWithUS . I agree that we need to make American great again and I look forward to supporting Donald Trump and endorse him as the Republican nominee and as the next President of the United States of America.

In May's Republican primary, Stutzman was defeated in his run for the United States Senate seat held by Dan Coats.
