We edited the Indiana Statehouse like reality TV, because unfortunately, what Statehouse Republicans have been up to deserves the dramatic music.

Our nation’s story is filled with women who shaped the moral and civic foundations we rely on today. Their leadership didn’t always receive the spotlight, but it left a lasting impact. This month, we honor those women and recommit ourselves to ensuring that the next generation of girls grows up with safe communities, strong freedoms, and equal treatment. We celebrate the women who broke barriers, the women building a more inclusive democracy today, and the next generation ready to carry the work forward. #WomensHistoryMonth2026

My current thoughts as the legislative session wraps up this week.

From marching alongside Dr. King to building the Rainbow Coalition, he reminded America that democracy works best when everyone has a seat at the table. His voice carried hope into communities too often unheard, and his faith fueled a movement that changed our nation. His life was a testament to courage, conviction, and compassion. Keep hope alive.

The incident earlier today in Beech Grove tragically resulted in the death of Officer Brian Elliott. I served with Brian for a few years before he left our agency to go work for BGPD. We didn’t get to work together a ton, but I do remember him being really professional and I remember that great smile you can see in the photos below. Please keep his wife, Erin, and his parents in your thoughts and prayers along with his sisters and brothers in public safety.

Running against a great congressman because he didn’t support you for a party position is bullshit. Of course, that’s not what happened. The final vote for chair was 18-14. It wasn’t tied before Ashley and I decided. Also, André NEVER told us how to vote. I have texts telling us to vote in whatever way we thought best for the party. I was opposed to you being chair because you’re a narcissistic demagogue who reeks of failure.

Tell me again how Democrats are the snowflakes.

I am gravely disappointed. Today, I tried to call down my bill to ban taxpayer-funded luxury vehicles after it was quietly pulled from the House calendar. It was eligible for final passage and had passed unanimously out of committee. They did not let me. Video to come soon.

2026 marks 100 years since Dr. Carter G. Woodson created Negro History Week, which laid the foundation for what we now observe as #BlackHistoryMonth. While Black history deserves recognition year-round, this month exists for a reason. It took deliberate effort to force a nation to acknowledge stories, contributions, and truths it otherwise preferred to ignore. That history matters even more today, as some Indiana elected officials and institutions work to erase it by canceling events honoring Dr. King, refusing to publicly acknowledge MLK Day, and targeting scholarships and programs designed to expand opportunity for Black students. Black History Month isn’t about division. It’s about honesty. And attempts to silence or minimize that history only prove why this month, and this work, remain necessary.

It’s important to give credit where it’s due, so I wanted to give an example of a Hoosier elected official who is taking a sensible approach to spending our tax dollars on their work vehicle. Take a look 👇

Reporting live from Grifter Motors, let’s take a lot walk outside of the statehouse to see exactly why my bill, HB 1066, is a necessary piece of legislation.

❤️🤍 HOO HOO HOO HOOSIERS ❤️🤍

Let's go, @IndianaFootball, bring it home! #Hoosiers

On this Martin Luther King Jr. Day, we honor a life that challenged America to live up to its highest ideals. Dr. King reminded us that justice, dignity, and equality are not abstract values: they require courage, action, and persistence from each generation. May we keep doing the work — which requires far more than just sharing his words.

With week two in the books, it's safe to say there a lot going on in the Indiana Statehouse. Take a look at what I've been working on:

Thanks to you, we’ve hit a campaign milestone earlier than we ever have before - 1,000 DOORS KNOCKED! 1,000 down, many more to go!

I literally said “part of the reason” we fought a revolution. The Declaration of Independence lists 28 grievances against the king. 3 of them, or over 10%, are about his use of the military against citizens: “He has kept among us…Standing Armies without the Consent of our legislatures. He has affected to render the Military independent of and superior to the Civil Power. For quartering large bodies of armed troops among us.”

Recently, I talked with Hoosiers Concerned About Gun Violence about a bill I authored this session to further safe firearm storage. It would: - Make it a felony for a caregiver to fail to secure a loaded firearm, if a dependent uses it to cause injury or death - Sets the offense as a Level 6 felony, with certain cases elevated to a Level 5 felony - Includes related technical changes
