    I got to join advocates, survivors and researchers for Pink Out the Statehouse. With more than 6,000+ Hoosier women treated last year, this event is a powerful reminder of the progress we’ve made and the work still ahead to support those affected by breast cancer. Proud to wear pink today in solidarity with the Hoosiers fighting for awareness, early detection and lifesaving treatments. #INForAll ... See MoreSee Less

    Had a great discussion with the Indiana Legislative Youth Advisory Council (ILYAC) about their priority bills this session. What an outstanding group of leaders working to make a real difference in Indiana!Their focus spans critical issues, including eliminating the backlog of rape kits (HB 1413), ensuring students receive medically accurate sexual health education (HB 1303) and securing funding for family recovery courts (HB 1107). They’re also advocating for a sales tax exemption on menstrual health products (HB 1042/SB 173) and fighting for stronger teacher compensation (SB 146).These ILYAC students are engaged, informed and committed to shaping a better future for Indiana. I’m grateful for their advocacy and look forward to seeing how their efforts continue to drive meaningful change! #INForAll ... See MoreSee Less
