I fully support redistricting in Indiana and have been in support since day one. Out of respect for caucus deliberations, I haven’t made a public statement, but my colleagues and the constituents I’ve spoken to have known where I stand. In light of recent speculation about where

America was built on hard work, and nobody understands hard work like Hoosiers. I was proud to author Senate Bill 2 earlier this year to require able-bodied adults on Medicaid to work. Thanks to @POTUS, those work requirements are now federal law.
Work provides a sense of purpose, a connection with community, and independence. It's life-changing! Indiana Senate Majority Leader @sen_chrisgarten learned this firsthand working on a farm. And it's why he's passionate about encouraging work for able-bodied adults. ⤵️

Thank you @INPRS for doing the right thing. NOT. ONE. HOOSIER. PENNY. TO. COMMUNIST. CHINA.
Thank you @jstewartIndy for calling attention to this issue. It’s a top priority for me to ensure not a single Hoosier taxpayer dollar is going to the Chinese Communist Party. @INPRS, this is why I constantly have to advocate for legislative oversight of bureaucrats. Read the law

Indiana shouldn’t be investing one penny in Communist China
Indiana is still investing over $30 million in China despite divestment mandate. @INPRS interprets the law @sen_chrisgarten authored differently than him, and has continued investing in Hong Kong, part of China, despite its lack of autonomy and human rights abuses. @indystar:

Just like most of you, I vividly remember where I was on September 11, 2001 when that first plane struck the World Trade Center. I remember the immense weight I felt of what was playing out before me, but I more so remember the undeniable call to action that rushed over me — a

I am at a loss for how to best acknowledge what happened today. @charliekirk11 was the living embodiment of hard work and free speech — he was the American Dream. May we never forget the greatness of his life, and may we never forget the cruelty of his death. Please join me in

1) It’s a song. Don’t be so soft. 2) Gas prices under Biden were significantly higher. 3) Our border is secure, other countries aren’t taking advantage of us, Biden’s inflation is under control, woke ideology is out of our kids’ classrooms, able-bodied adults on welfare are
@sen_chrisgarten Indiana's gas tax is over 70 cents. How much gas do you think a 17 year old making minimum wage can buy at $3.29 a gallon? Is there a factory they just mass produce all you out of touch MAGA dipshits?

Reminder from Tim McGraw-It’s Labor Day weekend. If your seventeen, go buy a Coke and some gasoline. Sorry, most county fairs are over. And lastly, maybe clean up that barbecue stain on your white t-shirt. #labordayweekend

Memorial Day is a time to intentionally pause and pay honor to those men and women who made the ultimate sacrifice. It’s a high cost, but this great nation is worth every sacrifice. God Bless America and all those who defend her. #memorialday2025
