Campaign website
Yakym's campaign website stated the following:
“ |
Why I’m Running. Washington D.C. is broken. Not only has Congress failed to tackle the most pressing challenges of our day, far too often, they are making things worse. As a result, Hoosier families are hurting. In Congress, I’ll stand up to the failed Pelosi-Biden agenda that is piling up debt, driving up gas prices, fueling inflation and making our country, and our communities, less safe.

Delegate allocation
Indiana had 57 delegates at the 2016 Republican National Convention. Of this total, 27 were district-level delegates (three for each of the state's nine congressional districts) pledged to adhere to the results of the presidential preference primary in their respective congressional districts. Indiana's pledged Republican delegates were allocated on a winner-take-all basis; the candidate who received the greatest number of votes in a given district won all of that district's delegates.[22][23]
Of the remaining 30 delegates, 27 served at large. These delegates were allocated on a winner-take-all basis; the candidate who won the greatest share of the statewide vote in the primary was allocated all of the at-large delegates. In addition, three national party leaders (identified on the chart below as RNC delegates) served as bound delegates to the Republican National Convention. The RNC delegates were required to pledge their support to the winner of the state's primary.[22][23]
