    Juneteenth is a celebration of freedom—and a reminder of how fiercely it must be defended.It marks the day the last enslaved people were told they were free—years after they should have been. That delay wasn’t an accident. It was a strategy. One we still see playing out today.Because let’s be clear:When books are banned, when history is rewritten, when peaceful voices are silenced, and when Black Hoosiers are still fighting to be seen and heard in their own communities—freedom is not fully realized.Juneteenth is not just about the past.It’s about what we do now—in a time when the very idea of justice is being politicized, when equity is treated as a threat and when some would rather erase our shared history than confront it.We will not look away.We will not be silent.And we will not stop fighting for a future where every Hoosier is truly free—not just in law, but in life.Freedom came late. Justice cannot.#Juneteenth #INForAll #ThisIsAmerica ... See MoreSee Less

    In our country, 125 people are shot and killed every day, and many more are injured or traumatized by the toll gun violence has on our communities. I have long called for our state to take action in addressing gun violence. Just this year, I authored bills to address firearms in polling sites and the emerging threats of ghost guns, or privately made firearms: neither got a hearing. Join me in using National Gun Violence Day to remember the victims of gun violence and call on the super majority to take the steps to protect the people of Indiana. #INForAll ... See MoreSee Less

    Today we don’t just remember those who gave their lives for our country—we ask ourselves: what are we doing to honor their sacrifice?Memorial Day isn’t just a date on the calendar. It’s a challenge. A challenge to live with purpose. A challenge to build a nation where every person’s worth is recognized, where freedom is more than a flag and where unity is more than a word.They fought not for one party or one belief—but for the hope of a better tomorrow. Let’s honor them by fighting for that future here at home.This Memorial Day let’s not settle for remembrance alone. Let’s be the generation that carries their dream forward.#MemorialDay #TheirSacrificeOurPromise #INForAll ... See MoreSee Less

    Did you know May is Mental Health Awareness Month? In Indiana, we have made great strides in addressing our mental health crisis.One of the largest examples was SEA 1 in 2023, which established the 988 line and created infrastructure to support our state's mental health. But we still have more work to do and more opportunities to support the health of Hoosiers, and I look forward to supporting continued conversation to expand access to critical services in Indiana.Check your mental health by taking a free screening (completely anonymous): screening.mhanational.org/screening-tools/Get Help Now: If you or someone you know is currently experiencing thoughts of suicide, or a mental health or substance use crisis, please call 988 to reach Suicide & Crisis Lifeline and speak with a trained crisis specialist 24/7. #INForAll ...

    I am elated that a convention center is coming to Gary.

    I was a proud co-author of SB 434 in 2023, which helped pave the way for this development that makes Gary even more of an attraction in our state.

    This is a huge win for Gary, Lake County and all of Indiana. (1/2)

    I so appreciated spending time with our Caucus leader, Sen. Yoder, this past weekend in Northwest Indiana.

    During her visit, we were able to visit some District 2 staples, such as the first White Castle in Indiana and The New Petros Restaurant!

    Additionally, we were able to meet with the great folks from Ben's Blue Bags to discuss the important work they are doing right here in our community. #INForAll
