Had a great day showing State Senator Shelli Yoder around District 29—appreciate her making the trip over to connect with folks here in the community! From breakfast with Trustee Bardon to conversations with small business owners downtown, one thing was clear: people are tuned in and speaking up about what’s affecting their lives.
Always proud to represent a district where people care deeply about their community and where leaders show up to listen. #INForAll
📋 Interim assignments are in! I’m honored to serve on 13 different study committees, commissions and boards this interim.
From child services and education to artificial intelligence and public health, these conversations are where policy takes shape before session begins. I'm committed to showing up, asking tough questions and keeping Hoosiers at the center of every discussion.
Let’s get to work. 💪![]()

🚨 Indiana Task Force 1 has been activated and deployed to Texas to help with flood response efforts.
To the 49 brave Hoosiers answering the call: thank you. Your courage, skill and service make us proud. Wishing you strength and safety as you assist those in need. We’ll be keeping you in our thoughts until you return home.
#HoosiersHelping #INforAll #PublicSafetyTonight, 49 members of Indiana Task Force 1 have been activated as a Type 3 Search and Rescue Team with water rescue assets to the State of Texas to assist with flood response efforts.
🏥 Big win for Hoosiers! Senate Bill (SB) 475 — which I proudly co-authored — has officially been signed into law. Starting July 1, 2025, physicians can no longer be forced into noncompete agreements with hospitals.
This change doesn’t just help doctors — it helps everyone. Ending non-competes means physicians can stay in their communities, serve more hospitals and reach more patients — especially in rural and underserved areas. No more red tape standing between Hoosiers and the care they need.
Fewer restrictions. More access. Better outcomes.
That’s what real progress looks like. 💪🏽![]()
