Today I sent the following letter to my fellow caucus members asking for their support to be the next Indiana Majority Caucus Chair. I look forward to helping our new leadership team to advance an unapologetically conservative Indiana first agenda.

Why is it ‘cancelled’ in the U.K. but ‘canceled’ in the U.S.? Because we gave them that L in 1776.

MUST WATCH Two patriotic 85-year-old songwriters called the Forever Boys released a music video called “What Would You Do If America Needed You," in reaction to the recent election of multiple far-left communists. The song calls on every American to preserve the principles and freedoms on which our country was founded. POWERFUL 🇺🇲 They gave me permission to post and spread it to the world. Please share!

Tomorrow is a big day for Indiana. There are a TON of major common sense conservative policy wins going into effect, and the media is barely covering them. Here’s a list of some of my favorites: ✅ SEA 256 blocks foreign adversaries like Communist China from buying up Hoosier land or getting state contracts. (I cosponsored) ✅ HEA 1406 cuts off IEDC tax-credit giveaways to companies tied to China and other foreign adversaries. (my amendment) ✅ SEA 76 requires compliance with ICE detainers and bars employers from knowingly recruiting, hiring, or continuing to employ illegal aliens. ✅ HEA 1200 requires truck drivers to demonstrate English proficiency and cracks down on nondomiciled CDLs. ✅ SEA 91 bars syringe-exchange fixed sites within 1,000 feet of schools, churches, and other protected facilities. (my amendment) ✅ HEA 1001, 2025 budget delivers universal school choice for every Hoosier family, regardless of income. ✅ SEA 246 protects child victims and child witnesses from having sensitive court records exposed. (I cosponsored) ✅ SEA 243 eliminates state income tax on qualified tips and qualified overtime. ✅ SEA 1 stops SNAP dollars from being spent on candy and soft drinks, requires immigration-status checks for SNAP and Medicaid, and restores Medicaid work requirements and requires ongoing eligibility verification. ✅ HEA 1408 protects kids online from Big Tech, predatory algorithms, and social-media abuse. ✅ SEA 78 kicks phones out of classrooms so students can learn instead of scrolling TikTok all day. ✅ SEA 88 puts good citizenship back in the curriculum and requires public colleges to accept the Classic Learning Test just like the ACT or SAT. ✅ HEA 1035 protects free-range parenting because letting your kid walk to the park, ride a bike, or play outside is not neglect. ✅ HEA 1004 cuts school bureaucracy so education dollars can go to classrooms, teachers, families, and students. ✅ SEA 200 gives Scouts and military recruiters better access to students. ✅ SEA 204 protects religious objections to vaccines in certain clinical-training settings. ✅ HEA 1423 creates new tools to confront Indianapolis public school dysfunction. ✅ SEA 2 strengthens bail procedures so dangerous offenders can be held when the state meets the legal burden. ✅ SJR 1 advances the constitutional amendment for bail reform. ✅ SEA 9 requires defendants to be present for victim-impact statements. ✅ HEA 1250 requires notice before certain serious violent felons are released. ✅ SEA 160 makes committing a crime while masked a sentencing aggravator. ✅ SEA 119 keeps certain dangerous offenders away from child-focused facilities and events. ✅ HEA 1303 strengthens our sex-crime and child-safety laws. ✅ SEA 140 cracks down on doxing and intimidation. ✅ SEA 285 restores public spaces by addressing unlawful public camping in parks, sidewalks, and other public property. ✅ SEA 284 reins in civilian police oversight boards so unelected activist boards do not have binding power over law enforcement. ✅ HEA 1343 gives the Indiana National Guard military police authority when called to state active duty. ✅ SEA 176 protects shooting ranges from nuisance claims, zoning games, and anti-2A harassment. ✅ HEA 1274 stops insurance pressure campaigns against businesses over gun-free-zone signs. ✅ SEA 12 bans ranked-choice voting. ✅ HEA 1389 protects religious adoption and foster-care providers from government discrimination. ✅ SEA 139 exempts breastfeeding mothers from jury duty. ✅ HEA 1165 strengthens animal-cruelty laws and gives people tools to rescue animals from hot cars. ✅ HEA 1424 helps small farmers and homestead food sellers escape bureaucracy. ✅ HEA 1273 takes on ESG-style corporate games through proxy-advisor reforms. ✅ SEA 6 limits municipal eminent-domain abuse for water and wastewater projects outside municipal boundaries. ✅ HEA 1152 reins in rogue HOAs. ✅ HEA 1115 requires more HOA transparency and governance reform. ✅ SEA 270 starts the process of merging townships because Indiana has too many layers of local government. ✅ SEA 4 requires fiscal-impact review for executive orders. ✅ HEA 1003 streamlines and eliminates unnecessary state boards and commissions.

Too many women are overprescribed SSRIs in college and postpartum as a first line treatment. Instead of learning useful coping skills, most doctors immediately turn to antidepressants that women never get off. It’s a dangerous and toxic cycle.

Many schools and some fire districts are the major culprits in the property tax discussion.
When Indiana reporters claim that school districts are losing lots of money from recent property tax reforms, what they really mean is that districts now can expect smaller increases than previously projected after years of record growth in assessed values.

🚨 JUST IN: In a huge victory, Sec. RFK Jr. confirmed today is the first day ALL hospital executives will be mandated to attest their posted prices are accurate "If hospitals mislead patients or fail to disclose actual prices, we will hold them accountable." I voted for this!

The honest discussions around the harms of massively overprescribing antidepressants is well overdue.
A simple question led to awkward silence: Shouldn't we warn pregnant women & the public about SSRIs in pregnancy given the clear signals of harm?

I’m going to bed. What an embarrassingly bad job by the Allen County Election Board.

US nonprofit hospitals spent $7.8 billion on management consultants from 2009 to 2023, but contracts were not associated with meaningful changes in finance, operations, or quality of care. 🧵 ja.ma/4d46zfq

CMS Deputy Administrator Chris Klomp: 1 in 4 Americans don’t pick up their prescriptions because they can’t afford it. That’s a moral failure—and that ENDS with Most Favored Nation policy, led by President Trump. It means that we will not pay more for a drug than any other wealthy country, starting now.
