Susan Lynn Wiant Brooks (born August 25, 1960 in Fort Wayne, Indiana (age 66)) is a prosecutor and moderate Republican currently representing Indiana's 5th district in the U.S. House of Representatives. An advocate for the homosexual agenda, Brooks voted in favor of the far-left Equality Act, which would designate individually self-identified gender identity as federally "protected" classes. Having caved into the liberal mob over Donald Trump's supposedly "racist" tweets, she joined all Democrats in voting for a time-wasting resolution to condemn the president's "hateful" messages directed towards the Squad, a four-member group of progressive, anti-American leftists.

Rep. Brooks is a member of the Republican Main Street Partnership and a co-chair of the moderate Tuesday Group.

In mid-June 2019, Brooks announced that she would not seek re-election in 2020 to a fifth House term,^[1] eliciting disappointment from several establishmentarians.^[2]
