Today, I had the immense privilege of witnessing Justin Phillips, Founder and CEO of Overdose Lifeline,Inc, receive the Sagamore of the Wabash—Indiana’s highest honor. 🌟 Justin has dedicated her life to helping families facing the tragedy of addiction, offering support, hope, and real solutions when they’re needed most. Her work has changed lives and strengthened communities across our state. This honor reflects the profound impact she’s made and continues to make every single day. Thank you, Justin, for your heart, your courage, and your unwavering commitment to Hoosiers. 🙏👏#INForAll
Today on Veterans Day, I had the honor of attending Indiana University’s Veterans Day event to celebrate the strength, resilience and unwavering commitment of our veterans. Their sacrifices and dedication have shaped the freedoms we cherish every day, and I am deeply grateful for every individual who has worn our nation’s uniform with pride and courage.![]()

📢 Hoosiers, we have one day left to make our voices heard on Indiana’s proposed diploma changes. As a parent, educator and advocate, I know that what we decide today will shape our children’s futures. Education isn’t just about earning a diploma—it’s the foundation of opportunity, growth and resilience for every young Hoosier.![]()

Parents, students, teachers, and community members, I urge you to read these proposed requirements. Let’s make sure they reflect our shared commitment to empowering every child, not limiting their potential. Join us at the public hearing this Friday, November 8, at 10 a.m. in Indiana Government Center South, Conference Room B. ![]()
Together, we can hold decision-makers accountable and push for an education system that truly serves our kids and prepares them for success. #INForAll![]()
