📚 Today marked the first Education Committee meeting of the 2025 session and I’m focused on ensuring we get this right. Education is one of the most valuable investments we can make in our state’s future, and we owe it to Hoosier students and educators to carefully consider every decision. ![]()
From teacher compensation to school counseling resources, the topics we discussed today are critical. This is just the beginning—there’s a lot to watch for this session, and I’m committed to keeping you informed every step of the way. Stay tuned! #INForAll

That’s not something I’m willing to gamble with. ![]()

My focus is making sure our elections remain fair, secure and accessible for everyone, no matter where you live or who you vote for. Your voice matters, and I’ll always work to protect it. ![]()

Today, I attended Governor Braun’s swearing-in ceremony and am looking forward to working with the new administration. I'm looking forward to what we can accomplish on behalf of Hoosiers all across our great state! 🤝 #INForAll
