Yesterday, my House Democratic colleagues attempted to gauge the views of IN citizens on ballot measures by adding a simple question to our next ballot: "Shall Hoosiers be allowed to initiate a ballot referendum in Indiana?" ❌Republicans voted down the amendment.

There's no reality where the government is better equipped than a woman and her doctor to make personal medical decisions, and I oppose the House's passage of SB 1. Abortion is HEALTHCARE, & I will continue doing all I can to fight for women's bodily autonomy & freedom.

I was happy to donate blood at the Statehouse this morning! The U.S. is currently facing a blood shortage, and I encourage everyone to consider donating if they can.

Today, 28 members of the Indiana Senate voted to take money for food from poor families. For no reason at all, Hoosiers receiving additional snap benefits will no longer receive them after April—even if benefits remain available from the federal government. (1/3)

The 2024 Session is in the books! While Democrats had some bipartisan wins, I'm more concerned with what the Supermajority ignored this year: 🗳️ Referendums. The voters deserve a greater say in their government, but it's clear this Legislature doesn't want accountability. (1/2)

The Indiana General Assembly needs to stop stepping into the business of local gov. Marion County voters don't deserve to have their decisions undone by legislators at the Statehouse that they didn't even vote for.

Every single Republican in green voted to take away the right of Marion County residents to cast local votes and that means something. This vote is an attempt to stop @IndyGoBus expansion, something Marion County residents voted very clearly in support of. #BigGovernment

Today is second reading for SB 1 and my caucus is holding a press conference at 11:30 to discuss the amendments we’ll be offering on behalf of the people of Indiana. Their voices will be heard. 2/

The same body that voted to force teachers to out students in the name of “parental rights” just voted against notifying parents of teachers carrying firearms in schools. Hypocritically AND shameful.
