We cannot stand by while history is erased and discrimination is excused.
Proud to stand with my colleagues calling out this dangerous pattern and demanding better for all Hoosiers.

Memorial Day asks something simple of us: remember.
Remember the Americans who never came home.
Today, we honor their memory and express our deepest gratitude to those who gave everything for our country. #INForAll

Our Communities are facing a blood shortage! I was glad to see the Red Cross at the Statehouse for their annual blood drive to help close the gap.

Did you know?
• Approximately 36,000 units of red blood cells are required daily in the U.S.
• 1 in 7 hospital patients require blood.
• Just one pint of blood can save up to three lives.
If you're able, please consider giving!

I was honored to celebrate School Counselor's Day at the Statehouse!
I was glad to join the INSCA Executive Director, Jan Desmarais-Morse and INSCA Board Chair, Lydia McNeily to highlight the important work of school counselors.

Today, I supported an amendment authored by my colleague, Sen. Qaddoura, which would have restored funding for the critical SUN Bucks program to feed hungry kids.

Let me be clear, I am all for fiscal responsibility.
At the same time, I am all for taking advantage of federal programs that ensure kids in our state do not go hungry—this amendment was a chance for Indiana to join 38 other states in working towards that goal.

Though I am disappointed that it did not pass, I will continue working with my colleagues to find ways to ensure we are taking care of those who need it most. #INForAll

I am grateful to be serving as the ranking minority member for the Education & Career Development Committee this session. During yesterday's meeting, we listened to various bills, including SB 248.

It was inspiring to see so many folks come all the way down to the People’s House from South Bend to testify and advocate for their community.
I’m happy to share that your advocacy and your passion had an immediate impact, and the author of the bill has withdrawn the legislation.

Today, I served on both the Elections Committee and the Family and Children Services Committee.
In Elections, we heard several bills, including SB 12, which would ban ranked choice voting—a process that does not exist in our state. (1/5)

Currently, Indiana is one of two states to have a Foster Parent Bill of Rights. Having a similar set of standards for our state's foster youth provides additional guidance and support when navigating life in foster care. (4/5)
