Thank you to everyone who attended my "Fair Maps or No Deal" town hall this past weekend.

The oath we take is to serve Hoosiers & uphold the Constitution, not partisan interests.
Gov. Braun’s call for a special session to redraw maps mid-decade breaks that oath and erodes public trust.
Hoosiers deserve fairness, transparency & a democracy that honors every voice.

JD Vance returned to Indiana to pressure Statehouse Republicans into rigging our state’s congressional maps to secure two seats. We’ve heard the “after-the-fact” manufactured faux justifications. But remember, Trump came out and said that quiet part out loud, “Go find me seats.”

As of last week, the federal government has officially shut down, and one of the most visible local impacts is limited staff at IN Dunes National Park.
