It was great to connect with the Zionsville Mayor John Stehr’s Youth Advisory Council and see their passion for civic engagement and dedication to their community, which is exactly what we need to build a stronger future. I’m always encouraged by young Hoosiers who step up, ask tough questions and get involved in the legislative process. #INForAll
Let’s call it what it is: HB 1680 is not about protecting our elections — it’s about making it harder for Hoosiers to vote. ![]()

This session, we’ve seen some of the most troubling election bills in years. Instead of encouraging civic engagement, we're watching a wave of legislation designed to confuse voters, suppress turnout and create unnecessary hoops for people to jump through.![]()

HB 1680 opens the door to rejecting valid ballots over a missing date. It targets certain voters for citizenship checks. And it hands the Secretary of State sweeping new powers to audit counties — even when no one has raised a concern. ![]()
Where’s the data driving these decisions? Where’s the urgency to solve real problems, like long lines, voter education or improving access in underserved communities?![]()

Hoosiers deserve free, fair and accessible elections. Not political power grabs masked as “security.” #INForAll ![]()

Instead of addressing Indiana's teacher shortage, school funding or student mental health struggle, Governor Braun went to Washington D.C. to attend the executive order's signing ceremony that would dismantle the U.S. Department of Education (DOE). ![]()
This is not just policy. This is a direct attack on the very foundation of our American public school system and threatens the futures of our students, teachers and communities. The DOE helps ensure students from any background has access to the resources they need to succeed and thrive in the classroom, and we as Hoosiers must protect our schools and demand action. ![]()

HB 1572 has passed the Senate, expanding telehealth access for speech-language pathology assistants and clarifying the role of audiologists. This bill also ensures Hoosiers have more options when it comes to hearing aids, making over-the-counter devices more accessible. Strengthening access to communication services is a step forward for public health, and I’m proud to co-sponsor this legislation. #INForAll
