U.S. Sen. Mike Braun knows it’s crucial for lawmakers to stand up for good policy.
When President Joe Biden bypassed Congress to forgive billions of dollars in student loans, the senator from Indiana took a firm stand.
It wasn’t right to shift the cost of college from borrowers to taxpayers.
Thanks to Sen. Braun and others, the tide is turning against unilateral student loan forgiveness.
Courts have stymied the President’s plans and a growing coalition in Congress now backs a principled approach on the issue.
For his willingness to champion principled policies on Capitol Hill, Sen. Braun was one of 23 Senators and 58 Representatives to receive the “Pioneers for Prosperity” Award.

It’s crucial for lawmakers to not just stand up for good policy, but to be champions of it — especially as we confront the big policy threats ahead.
In December, lawmakers will need to pass another funding bill — and you can expect a push for increased spending.
After the New Year, lawmakers will contend with the looming “fiscal cliff”. Absent action from Congress, millions of Americans already struggling to fill their gas tanks and put food on the table due to the Biden-Harris Administration’s disastrous economic policies, will be forced to add higher taxes to their list of challenges.
And depending on November’s elections, the next Congress could also consider policies like the PRO Act, which would stifle the gig economy and erode worker freedoms by abolishing state right-to-work laws.
The “Pioneers for Prosperity” Award encourages members of Congress to actually take the lead on the issues that matter most.
And it can inspire others to do the right thing.
Americans for Prosperity’s grassroots activists play a similar role. They stand alongside lawmakers when they stand up for principles — and hold accountable those who vote the wrong way.
