Micah Beckwith’s [FN1] imagination = his thirst for political power. HEPL [FN2]: his antics after he was appointed show why even GOP primary voters don’t like him. Beckwith sd nada re: he & his pals losing a 4-3 majority at HEPL. Instead: “As your next Lt Governor, I will work 1/12

to restore” parental rts & “get teachers back to basics, not pushing a sexual agenda.” Beckwith’s agenda always is sexual (i.e., porn, trafficking but never evangelical ministers’ antics). He’s said he’s running for LGov in 2024. Problems? A) GOP State convention, not voters, 2/12

picks LGov; B) Things Beckwith says he will do are not w/in LGov’s powers. IN Const: LGov presides over IN Senate & casts tie breaking votes & if Gov resigns or dies in office, LGov becomes Gov. [FN3]. No rational person (even in this iteration of the GOP) would 3/12

be Gov w/Beckwith in the wings as LGov. “God” might hasten the Gov’s demise. Statutes don’t give LGov authority in parental rights or education. Instead the areas are: agriculture & rural development [FN4]; tourism [FN5]; defense development. [FN6]; small business & 4/12

entrepreneurship. [FN7]; member Housing and Community Development Authority. [FN8]; member of the Military Base Planning Council. [FN9]; chair, Counterterrorism and Security Council. [FN10]; member, Advisory Comm’n Intergov’l Relations. [FN11];.member, 5/12

Comm’n Hispanic/Latino Affairs. [FN12]; member, Comm’n on Industr’l Development. [FN13]; vice chair, Indiana Career Council. [FN14]; compile/maintain membership list, Coalition to Support Indiana Seniors. [FN15]; distribute flown state flags not claimed. [FN16]; 6/12

Administer the Community Services Block Grant. [FN17]; Administer the Housing Assistance Act, home energy assistance and LIHEAP programs, weatherization programs, migrant and farm worker programs, administer shelter plus care program, administer the emergency 7/12

shelter grant programs. [FN18]; authorize Local Economic Development Grants for housing rehabilitation. [FN19]; call to order any State Convention concerning United States Constitutional Convention. [FN20]; and appoint a member to the Lake County Convention and 8/12

Visitors Bureau. [FN21]. (IC 6-9-2-3). Beckwith is so uninformed that he picks two things that are outside the job of LGov and so many of the items I’ve listed are damn scary to put in the hands of someone like Beckwith.. 9/12
