I fully support redistricting in Indiana and have been in support since day one. Out of respect for caucus deliberations, I haven’t made a public statement, but my colleagues and the constituents I’ve spoken to have known where I stand. In light of recent speculation about where

Yesterday, the @INDems Facebook account posted an outright lie, claiming Sen. Mishler and I were laughing at a Hoosier who came to testify against SB 2. Here’s my response. ⤵️ And btw, SB 2 doesn’t cut Medicaid for the disabled or elderly. Read the bill. Stop lying. Do better.

America was built on hard work, and nobody understands hard work like Hoosiers. I was proud to author Senate Bill 2 earlier this year to require able-bodied adults on Medicaid to work. Thanks to @POTUS, those work requirements are now federal law.

Work provides a sense of purpose, a connection with community, and independence. It's life-changing! Indiana Senate Majority Leader @Sen_ChrisGarten learned this firsthand working on a farm. And it's why he's passionate about encouraging work for able-bodied adults. ⤵️

Thank you @jstewartIndy for calling attention to this issue. It’s a top priority for me to ensure not a single Hoosier taxpayer dollar is going to the Chinese Communist Party. @INPRS, this is why I constantly have to advocate for legislative oversight of bureaucrats. Read the law

Indiana is still investing over $30 million in China despite divestment mandate. @INPRS interprets the law @sen_chrisgarten authored differently than him, and has continued investing in Hong Kong, part of China, despite its lack of autonomy and human rights abuses. @indystar:

Big government doesn’t make for good government. This year, @INSenateGOP authored Senate Bill 5 to increase efficiency, transparency, and accountability in government. SB 5 eliminated government jobs left vacant for over 90 days, banned no-bid contracts, and required legislative

.@Sen_ChrisGarten understands the importance of having a lean, effective government to provide necessary services to Hoosiers. That means more oversight and less unelected bureaucrats. This year, Sen. Chris Garten authored legislation to improve transparency, increase

@RobMKendall Your tweets remind me of a saying an old farmer friend of mine once told me: Don’t let the facts get in the way of a good story…! Seems like you’ve mastered this motto. Let me get this straight. I tweet about the importance of getting Hoosiers off welfare and back

Chris Garten allowed hundreds of thousands of people to be jammed onto welfare roles by Holcomb & did nothing when he shut the state down. Now he’s pretending to be Billy Bad Ass for forcing people to work because state is broke. He’s tomorrow’s Dumbass of the Day Award Winner.

Reminder from Tim McGraw-It’s Labor Day weekend. If your seventeen, go buy a Coke and some gasoline. Sorry, most county fairs are over. And lastly, maybe clean up that barbecue stain on your white t-shirt. #labordayweekend #insenate45

Let me get this straight… You complain when you don’t see Republicans speaking out on this topic, and then when one does, you’re quick to rip on them? That doesn’t exactly inspire my colleagues to join me in public demands for transparency. Also, that wasn’t my first public
