ake County Councilman Randy Niemeyer Announces Campaign For Congress In Northwest Indiana

Cedar Lake, IN - Yesterday, Lake County Councilman Randy Niemeyer, announced his intention to run for Indiana’s First Congressional District, currently held by Congressman Frank Mrvan. The district, bordering Lake Michigan to the north and the Kankakee River to the south, contains all of Lake and Porter Counties, as well a portion of La Porte County, and is expected to be one of the most competitive Congressional races in the nation next year.

Randy Niemeyer, is a member of the Lake County Council, elected in 2022, after having served as President of the Cedar Lake Town Council. Under Randy’s watch, Cedar Lake was able to turn itself around financially, while expanding its police force, conducting major upgrades to roads, utilities, sewers, and parks, while establishing a municipal fire department. He is a lifelong resident of Northwest Indiana, and has lived in Cedar Lake most of his life, having raised two children there with his wife of twenty-one years. He is the fourth generation of his family in trucking, as the owner of Niemeyer Milk Transfer, where he started working at 18 years old, right after graduating from Hanover Central High School.

Upon announcing his campaign, Randy Niemeyer said, “Our community is clamoring for changes, and after hearing countless calls from across the district, and moments of reflection and prayer with my wife, I have decided to run for Congress to be a voice for the people of Northwest Indiana. Congressman Mrvan’s record is one of lackluster results. He has failed to tackle the rising cost of living putting a strain on our families, he has failed to bring safety and security to our neighborhoods, and failed to speak independently as a voice for the region. I promise to bring a change of leadership, based on common sense ideas, and work with all members of Congress, to prioritize results for people of the 1st district. This has been the guiding principle of my work in local government, and will be the same, results-oriented perspective, that I will bring to Congress. Working together we can bring down inflation and restore fiscal sanity, stop the rise in crime, and restore American energy independence. I look forward to earning your vote this year.”
