I had the privilege of speaking at Renewable Energy Day—a moment to envision a cleaner, healthier future for all Hoosier families. 🌿💡 ![]()

Renewable energy isn’t just an environmental issue—it’s an opportunity to reimagine what’s possible for Indiana. It means healthier air for our kids to breathe, more jobs in communities across the state and lower energy bills for hardworking Hoosiers. It’s about giving every family the freedom to thrive while protecting the planet we’ll leave to the next generation. ![]()

This is about building a future where Indiana leads—not lags—on clean energy innovation, where we honor the values that unite us: hard work, sustainability and hope for our children. Together, we can create a legacy of clean energy, economic opportunity and a healthier tomorrow for everyone. Let’s get to work. 💪🌎 ![]()

The Rev. Dr. King lived as a bastion of civil rights for all Americans, and the story of our country cannot be told without mention of his lasting legacy. ![]()

We use his dedication to peace, and liberty for all, as a guiding light in the continued fight for a world where, “justice rolls down like waters, and righteousness like a mighty stream.” #INForAll
Neighbors and friends, the first week of session is in the books! The work has already started, and I’m focused on fighting for families, securing brighter futures and protecting the freedoms that matter most to Hoosiers. Stay tuned for updates on what I’ve been doing! #INForAll
✨ Education didn’t just teach me—it shaped me. It gave me opportunities, broadened my perspective and inspired me to serve others. Traditional public education played a central role in that journey, just as it does for 90% of Indiana’s students today. ![]()
As we kicked off the first Education Committee meeting of the session, I was reminded of what’s at stake. Every decision we make this year will impact not only our students and teachers but the future of our communities. Education—especially traditional public education—must remain a priority because it’s the foundation of opportunity for so many. Let’s get this right for every Hoosier. 💙 #INForAll #EducationMatters
