Hoosier families asked for real affordability relief. Republicans chose ideology instead. Read my op-ed in the IndyStar 👉 bit.ly/45Fycc1 #INForAll #AffordableIndiana

🚨 This is cheating. Full stop. 🚨 Trump is demanding that Indiana Republicans rig our map mid-decade—because he’s losing and the only way he wins is if they cheat. 📞 Flood their phones: 🟡 Gov. Braun — 317-232-4567 🟡 Sen. Bray — 317-232-9400 🟡 Rep. Huston — 317-232-9677

Appreciate the discussion with @PsakiBriefing for inviting me to break it down and speak truth to power. To my Republican colleagues: If you're serious about representing Hoosiers—not just pleasing Trump—say no to cheating. Say no to selling out. #INForAll #ProtectOurVote

Grateful to join the Ellettsville Chamber for a powerful convo with local leaders and business owners. When communities speak up, legislators listen. Thanks to all who showed up, asked bold questions and reminded me who I’m fighting for. #INForAll #StatehouseToMainStreet

Proud to help sign HB 1221 into law—a win for the teachers, public employees and first responders who gave everything to Indiana. They showed up for us. This law shows up for them. This isn’t just policy—it’s a promise kept. #INForAll #HB1221 #RetirementJustice

HB 1167 is now law—a step forward for harm reduction and public safety in Indiana. It makes drug testing strips legal, helping detect deadly substances like fentanyl and prevent overdoses. This saves lives and keeps Hoosiers safe—at home, work and school. #INForAll #HarmReduction

Called bingo, swapped Indy 500 jokes and heard firsthand how SEA 176 is helping—without folks even knowing it was my bill. That’s the goal: policy that meets people where they are. Grateful for the laughs and insights, Majestic. #SEA176 #INForAll

🌄 Started the day in Elkhart at the RV Industry POWER Breakfast for a ceremonial signing of SEA 484 — highlighting how outdoor rec powers Indiana’s economy. 📈 My SB 1616 amendment calls for a study on how our public lands fuel jobs, tourism & growth. #INForAll #RVStrong

Just visited the 4th graders at University Elementary—and left inspired! 💓🦄 Each class had a Governor & Lt. Governor, and they gave me hand-written bill ideas on housing, health care & play. I read every one in my car. Our future is in good hands. 💫 #INForAll

Wore my purple and white with pride today to visit the incredible Eagles of Clear Creek Christian School! 🦅 Grateful to Principal Wallace, Mrs. Peden, the amazing staff, students—and of course Leo the emotional support dog—for such a warm and spirited welcome.

On Friday, the Indiana General Assembly passed the final version of the two-year state budget. While the budget may be passed, the fight is far from over. We're not done fighting – and we'll keep showing up. Read the graphic for the full press release. #INForAll

SB 287 passed its concurrence in the Senate today—26 to 24. A razor-thin margin for a bill that will do truly nothing to improve the lives of our children & support our educators. I will keep fighting for an Indiana where education is about learning, not partisanship. #INForAll

I had a joyful moment presenting a resolution honoring Mrs. Mobley’s Lighthouse Christian School 4th grade class, meeting them upon the conclusion of their Indiana state government & civic engagement unit. It was a privilege to celebrate their voices at the Statehouse! #INForAll
