Randy’s great-grandfather started hauling milk back in 1916, to try and earn a little extra money from his dairy farm. This endeavor grew and grew, and now Randy and his brother Rich are the fourth generation of his family to haul milk as the owners of Niemeyer Milk Transfer, Inc. A graduate of Hanover Central High School, of which his father was a member of the first graduating class, his daughter a member of the class of 2021, his son a member of the class of 2023, he saw the importance of public service through his grandfather, who served on the first Board for the Hanover Community Schools and his grandmother who spent thirty-five years working in their cafeterias. While playing varsity basketball and baseball, Randy also found time to be in the choir, the thespian society, and student government while tackling his schoolwork. After graduating, Randy attended Indiana State University, while getting his CDL at the age of 18 and going to work for the family business. Randy learned quickly that trucking isn’t easy work, but it’s part of the backbone of our society. To date, Randy has logged over 3 million miles behind the wheel of an 18-wheeler in his 28 years of trucking. We’ve been able to trust Randy to bring balanced and common-sense leadership to our community. With his blue-collar roots, Randy is ready to go to Washington and fight for the working people of IN-01.\t\t\t</span></div></div></div></div><div class=\"panel panel-default\"><div class=\"panel-heading\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" href=\"#collapse-key-message-203961-2024-02-23\" id=\"heading-key-message-203961-2024-02-23\" role=\"tab\"><p class=\"panel-title\" style=\"font-size: 14px;font-weight: 600;\"><a aria-controls=\"collapse-key-message-203961-2024-02-23\" aria-expanded=\"false\" class=\"collapsed\" data-parent=\"#accordion\" data-toggle=\"collapse\" href=\"#collapse-key-message-203961-2024-02-23\" role=\"button\"><i class=\"fa fa-chevron-right pull-right\"></i><i class=\"fa fa-chevron-down pull-right\"></i>\t\t\t\tPlease list below 3 key messages of your campaign.
