Great visiting Pike Central High School in Petersburg, one of #IN08’s great public high schools, to speak with the senior class! I enjoyed answering their questions, discussing the importance of public service, and hearing from the next generation of Hoosier leaders!

It was great to visit Evansville Christian School yesterday and see firsthand the incredible work they're doing to educate the next generation of Hoosiers! I'll always fight to put parents, not bureaucrats, in charge of their children's education. 🇺🇸📚🏫

Today, we remember the innocent lives taken in the horrific October 7 terrorist attacks against our great ally, Israel. We pray for the victims, their families, and all those forever changed by that day. America must always stand against terrorism and antisemitism.

🚨 Democrats just voted AGAINST making data centers pay for their own energy usage costs. Democrats think Hoosiers should be stuck with the bill. Data centers should ALWAYS pay their own way. Democrats are against lowering energy costs for hardworking Hoosiers. What a shame!

Always my greatest honor to welcome home our Hoosier veterans returning from their visit to our nation’s capital. I try to never miss an Honor Flight welcome home ceremony. It’s truly a privilege to thank our beloved veterans for their service and sacrifice. 🇺🇸

I stand with @Robert_Aderholt in calling for the immediate release of those imprisoned by the Chinese Communist Party for their religious and political beliefs. America must continue speaking out for religious freedom around the world!
The Chinese Communist Party’s detention of many political prisoners is an offense against freedom and international human rights. The United States must stand and speak up for people of faith everywhere in the world and I call for their immediate release.

Hank Menke is a third-generation Hoosier who grew the family furniture business into a major American manufacturer. As a beloved employer in our community, I was proud to recognize him on the House floor for his decades of service to Southern Indiana. Congratulations, Hank!
