On this Fourth of July, we remember where we came from and what we stand for.In 1776, a bold declaration set forth a vision of freedom, equality and a government by the people. That vision has been carried forward generation after generation, not just by leaders, but by everyday Americans coming together to build a stronger, more just country.Today, as we gather with our families, neighbors and communities, let’s recommit to those shared values. The strength of our nation has always come from our unity, even in times of challenge.Wishing everyone a safe, joyful and reflective Independence Day. #INForAll ... See MoreSee Less

🚨 The Big Betrayal Bill Passed 🚨Congress just passed what’s being called the Big Beautiful Bill, but for millions of Americans and Hoosiers, it’s more like the Big Betrayal Bill.This legislation would:➡️ Slash $930 billion from Medicaid, Medicare and the ACA over the next decade➡️ Strip health insurance from up to 12 million people over the next 10 years➡️ Impose stricter work requirements, causing nearly 5 million people to lose coverage over the next 10 years➡️ Force families to prove Medicaid eligibility twice a year, increasing red tape➡️ Cut retroactive Medicaid coverage, leaving people vulnerable during critical health events➡️ Jeopardize rural hospitals, including a dozen here in Indiana, by slashing the provider tax that funds them➡️ Put essential programs like long-term care and complex child services at riskCongress has spent over $8 trillion on wars since 2001. Congress is reckless in leading the nation into further debt. The BBB doesn’t prioritize America first; it prioritizes the ultra-wealthy, funding wars, and tax cuts to the top 1% over our children, the medically vulnerable, senior citizens, and working families. This is a historic gutting of Medicaid, plain and simple. We know what happens next: people will be kicked off the rolls or lose vital care and experience increasing visits to the ER.Indiana families can’t afford this betrayal. Hoosiers deserve better. I will continue to fight tirelessly for the marginalized, voiceless, vulnerable, and underrepresented. #INForAll ... See MoreSee Less

Over the past two weeks, I have been out in the community doing what matters most: listening, learning and serving.From two Fridays with Fady meetups at Niyyah Coffee Shop and Fire and Ice Cafe, where constituents shared their policy ideas and concerns, to volunteering at a food pantry and continuing door-to-door conversations, every interaction inspired me to continue to fight for our community.I have heard from seniors struggling to stay in their homes, from families worried about cost of rent, utilities, food, health care, transportation, and Hoosiers anxious about the impact of harmful state and federal policies and budget cuts. These stories are real and powerful.Our community is facing tough times. But throughout history, leaders from every generation have risen to fight for civil rights, equality, freedoms, and social and economic justice. With hope and resiliency, we have overcome great challenges before and we will do it again.Our strength as a community transcends politics. It lives in our neighborhoods, in our shared values and in the way we show up for each other when it matters most.Together, we keep hope alive. Together, we move forward. #INForAll ...

I'm proud to share that the Indiana General Assembly has selected medical debt as one of its official summer study topics, a critical issue I’ve been fighting to address on behalf of Hoosiers across our state. Nearly 40–50% of adults in Indiana are impacted by medical debt, with $2.2 billion currently in collections. This burden doesn’t just hurt credit; it limits access to housing, jobs and economic mobility. No one should be penalized for getting sick. Earlier this year, I introduced Senate Bill 317 to tackle this issue head-on. While it narrowly fell short in the Senate with a vote of 26-23, I remained committed to keeping the conversation going. I'm grateful this topic will now get the focused attention it deserves through a formal study committee. My bill would have prohibited placing liens on primary residential homes, wage garnishment, and reporting medical debt on credit reports. It also would have required hospitals to offer more charitable care and payment plans for financially disadvantaged Hoosiers.Unlike any other type of debt, medically vulnerable Hoosiers don’t choose to get cancer or other serious illnesses and deserve financial support rather than going bankrupt, losing their livelihoods or their homes due to medical debt. We must address the root cause of this problem: lack of access to affordable health care services, costly yet poor insurance coverage plans, and health providers selling medical debt to collection agencies to go after vulnerable Hoosiers. This is a meaningful opportunity to build bipartisan, evidence-based solutions that protect Hoosiers’ health and financial well-being. I look forward to working with colleagues, stakeholders, and experts to make real progress. #INForAll ... See MoreSee Less
