Senator Braun’s Weekly Update | Mexico Tariffs, USMCA, Remembering Hoosiers at D-Day

0

This week, Senator Braun provided a Main Street entrepreneur’s take on President Trump’s proposed tariffs with Mexico, urged Congress to put partisanship aside and approve the USMCA for Hoosier workers and farmers, made the case for the USDA to move research facilities to Indiana, and commemorated Hoosier veterans on the 75th anniversary of D-Day. 

NEW: Follow Senator Braun on Instagram for updates around Indiana. 

Senator Braun joined Varney & Co. on Fox Business  to discuss President Trump’s proposed tariffs on Mexico, Hoosier workers and farmers who need Congress to approve the USMCA, and if he’s actually enjoying his move from business to the dysfunction of Washington.

“I’m concerned if tariffs get put in place because the USMCA – that masterful agreement that is ready to go through - might be put it in peril. President Trump has done a great job negotiating with the Chinese, Canadians, and Mexicans, and I think here he needed to make a statement that they’re not helping out on border security and I’m hoping the tariffs don’t need to be used.”

Senator Braun penned an op-ed for The Daily Caller urging Democrats in Congress to put their partisan feud with President Trump aside and approve the much-needed USMCA trade deal for Hoosier workers and farmers.

“House Democrats have spent decades fundraising against NAFTA, but now that they have an opportunity to replace it with a better agreement — one that includes a minimum wage for Mexican auto workers and provisions to protect American jobs from unfairly traded Chinese products — they refuse to debate it on the floor of the House.”

Senator Braun and Congressman Jim Baird penned an op-ed for the Lafayette Journal & Courier encouraging the USDA to select Indiana as new location for a research facility out of the three finalists.

“As we come to a final decision about where the USDA’s Economic Research Service and National Institute of Food and Agriculture departments should relocate, USDA should consider a location that has access to America’s best research institutions so that they can draw on pre-existing expertise, as well as a location that facilitates a lower cost-of-living than in Washington, saving American taxpayers money in salaries and operating costs.

Senator Braun spoke to Abigail Robertson of Christian Broadcast Network to discuss President Trump’s Mexico tariffs and the state of the debate within the GOP.

This week, the entire Indiana Congressional Delegation introduced a bill to rename the Indianapolis Post Office after the late Senator Richard Lugar.

“Senator Richard Lugar is a towering figure in Hoosier history and one of the greatest statesmen ever to serve in the U.S. Senate: it’s only fitting for us to rename the Indianapolis Post Office after him.”

McGuff goes the distance, one out away from no-hitter in Otters’ win

0

The Evansville Otters nearly had their fourth no-hitter in franchise history on Friday, winning 3-0 as starting pitcher Patrick McGuff had his no-hit bid broken by the Schaumburg Boomers with two outs in the ninth inning.

With two outs in the bottom of the ninth and a runner on first, Clint Hardy hit a shallow single to right field to break up a no-hitter from McGuff.

McGuff would see only four Boomers reach base in the outing, surrendering the lone hit, one walk, a hit-batter, and one via an error by the Otters’ defense.

The Otters ace went the distance, ending the game with his 11th strikeout, moving McGuff’s record to 5-0 with 60 strikeouts and a 1.04 ERA on the season.

The Evansville Otters have two complete games this season, both by McGuff. McGuff’s first complete game was in game one of a doubleheader on May 22 at Gateway, going the full seven innings.

McGuff was able to get early run support, as the Otters manufactured their scoring offense with a small-ball approach.

Carlos Castro led off the top of the second with a double. With one out, Mike Rizzitello had a drop third strike called, as a wild pitch from Schaumburg starter Connor Reed was mishandled by Boomers catcher Nick Oddo. As Rizzitello ran down the first base line, Castro advanced from second to third. After Oddo threw out Rizzitello for the second out of the inning, first baseman Matt Rose’s throw back to Oddo went over his head, allowing Castro to slide at home headfirst to score the Otters’ first run of the game.

In the top of the sixth with one out, J.J. Gould doubled to right-centerfield, followed by another double from David Cronin, to put runners on second and third.

Keith Grieshaber’s sac-fly to left scored Gould to extend the Otters’ lead to two.

In the ninth, Carlos Castro hit the first triple of the year for the Otters, as right fielder Clint Hardy lost sight of the ball in the lights.  Rob Calabrese hit a sac-fly to score Castro, giving the Otters their third run.

Castro finished 3 for 4 at the plate with two doubles, a triple, and two runs scored.
