About Mark Messmer

ABOUT MARK MESSMER

A devoted husband and father, Mark Messmer places his faith and family first. Mark and his wife Kim have been married 40 years and have four children. Mark is a lifelong Hoosier and a proud native of Southern Indiana.

Mark Messmer understands the values that make our communities great: faith, family, and hard work. As a local small business owner, Mark knows firsthand less government creates more jobs. He and his wife Kim are active members of Holy Family Catholic Church in Jasper where Mark has been involved in many activities, including serving as a music minister, the Parish Council, the Holy Family School Board, and the Cursillo program.

While serving in the Indiana Statehouse, Mark has fought tirelessly to promote economic growth, safeguard individual liberties, and uphold our constitutional values.

As our Congressman, Mark Messmer will continue to fight for the same values he learned growing up in Jasper as he works to make our communities stronger and more prosperous.

Voters in the 8 th District need to know that Mark Messmer is a Hoosier businessman and Christian. They need to know that he'll stand up to the woke mob in DC and that he is a pro-Trump conservative.
