A sixth-generation Indiana egg farmer is stepping up to challenge Rep. Jim Banks, R-Ind., in the GOP primary for their state’s open Senate seat.
John Rust, an openly gay conservative Republican who leads the board of Rose Acre Farms, told Fox News Digital that “social issues” inspired him to get into the race.
“I’m gay, I’m married to a guy. And there’s a lot of comments that you have to support all this stuff that’s going on in front of schools with…transgender ideology being put on young children. I’m opposed to that,” Rust said.
