I’m deeply disappointed to hear that Indiana Public Broadcasting is ending its statewide reporting.![]()
![]()
Growing up, public broadcasting was a constant in my life, as well as for many others, whether it was listening to the radio or watching programs on TV. It wasn’t just entertainment; it was how many of us learned about the world, our communities and our government.![]()
![]()
Losing this kind of coverage, especially the critical reporting on the legislature and what’s happening at the Statehouse, is a serious blow to transparency and informed civic engagement across Indiana. This is what we warned about during session and now it’s coming to fruition.![]()

I’m afraid this may just be the first of many more cuts to come. Hoosiers deserve transparency and accountability. We deserve better and I’m going to continue the fight for us. #INForAll![]()

Indiana Public Broadcasting is eliminating its statewide team of reporters and editors after the General Assembly defunded the organization.
This weekend, far too many families across our state were devastated by tragic drownings, losing children, spouses and loved ones in heartbreaking accidents.![]()
![]()
Although most of these tragedies took place in Michigan, they are painful reminders of how urgently we need to strengthen water safety education across Indiana. That is why I have proposed a study committee focused on improving water safety awareness, specifically looking at how we teach water safety in schools and how we prepare Hoosiers for safe outings at lakes, beaches and pools.![]()

Our goal is simple: equip people with the knowledge and skills to act quickly and safely in dangerous situations, whether they are in the water or witnessing someone else in distress.![]()

My heart goes out to every family grieving this weekend. We must do more and we will. #INForAll![]()

Happy Fourth of July!![]()

Today, we honor the brave individuals who fought for our freedoms and reflect on the sacrifices that built our nation. Remember, those freedoms must be shared by ALL of us. ![]()

As families head to beaches and lakes to celebrate, please keep in mind: water safety is just as important as fireworks and fun.![]()

Whether you’re boating, swimming or simply cooling off, stay alert, follow posted safety guidelines and always keep a close eye on loved ones.![]()

Let’s make this a safe, joyful holiday for everyone. #INForAll
Even though the legislative session ended months ago, many of the laws we passed don’t go into effect until July 1st.![]()

These new laws cover everything from education and health care to public safety and taxes. They could impact your daily life in ways big and small.![]()

Staying informed is one of the best ways to stay engaged and empowered.![]()

New Indiana laws going into effect July 1

The 124th session of the Indiana General Assembly ended back in April. More than 200 bills were passed and signed into law by Governor Mike Braun.
With school out and more people heading to the beach, it is a good time to highlight the importance of water safety, especially in our region of the state. ![]()

This summer, I requested a study committee to explore including water safety as part of the school health curriculum. Our lake is beautiful, but it can be dangerous for those who are unprepared. Always bring a friend, know your limits and stay close to shore. ![]()

Stay safe, Hoosiers. #INForAll
