    I had a busy and incredibly rewarding few days in District 34!I attended the open house for the Brightwood Forest Manor Community Center. This amazing center offers a range of programs, including a summer camp, workforce development services and a food pantry that serves the community twice a month.I was honored to present a Proclamation recognizing our dedicated Telecommunicators and 911 services during National Telecommunicator Week. These professionals play a critical role in emergencies, helping Hoosiers through some of their most dangerous and difficult moments.I also had the privilege of speaking at the Divine Transitions 2nd Annual 5K Walk for Life Kickoff at Hinkle Field. This powerful event supports Doula Care and Maternal Health, while raising awareness about the alarming maternal mortality rates among women of color.I always love connecting with constituents across District 34. Thank you for your continued engagement with the legislature and your support for such impactful community initiatives!#INForAll ... See MoreSee Less

    Today, the Senate passed House Bill 1001 following over four hours of testimony and over 60 amendments proposed by my caucus yesterday. My caucus offered amendments that would provide new revenue sources, fund public education, improve health and well being, and support working families and local communities. My individual amendments included funding for Martin University, IndyGo for microtransit, and Marion County Recorder for fraud prevention. Though all of my amendments were rejected, I look forward to continued conversations to fight for Senate District 34 and all Hoosiers. ... See MoreSee Less

    In this 2nd week of April, we celebrate National Telecommunications Week. We take this time to honor all personnel in the public safety community and celebrate those in their dedication to serving the public. Thank you to all workers for your sacrifices and commitment to safety!

    Yesterday, my amendment on the 2nd reading of HB1474 regarding FSSA matters, passed on the Senate floor! This is my 1st amendment to be passed and a milestone as a freshman legislator! I will continue to work on making legislation the best they can be for our Indiana residents!
