No one should have to worry about heat in the winter. IndyEAP offers assistance with energy bills for eligible Marion County households. Go to indyeap.org to check eligibility.

Thank you to the bold students from Brebeuf Jesuit Preparatory School for writing to me about the importance of protecting immigrant communities. Your voices matter, and our future is bright with leaders like you. I will continue working to ensure fairness and opportunity for all.

The temperature is high on calls for political violence — including threats coming from the president.

As a previous target myself, I am gravely concerned. Threats and bullying are no way to handle political issues.

I am honored to serve as the Ranking Member of House Aviation Subcommittee. There was perhaps no better reminder of the importance of safe, reliable air travel than earlier this month, when travelers experienced delays and cancelations at major airports because of the government shutdown. L

I voted today to release the Epstein files in full. 

This is possible because of the survivors who put themselves at risk in order to prevent future harm and abuse. They deserve justice, transparency, and accountability. 

To all survivors of sexual violence: your voice matters.

Families are struggling to make ends meet.  
 
Congress can and should vote TODAY to make healthcare more affordable. Otherwise, prices will skyrocket Jan. 1. 
 
Americans deserve better.

The Indiana Senate has said it will not vote on unfair redistricting.

To the legislators who stood firm, faith leaders, concerned citizens, organizers, and volunteers: thank you. This is what happens when we make our voices heard.

Prayer, people, and partnerships power change.

Hoosiers do things differently. We’re about collaboration, not division. We’re about independent thinking — not taking orders from Washington.
November 14, 2025 at 8:22 PM
It’s simple. No healthcare protections, no vote from me.

Republicans’ spending bill will cause millions to face skyrocketing healthcare costs—and Americans just can’t afford it.
November 12, 2025 at 7:17 PM
Today, we honor the brave men and women who have served and sacrificed for our nation and recommit to making sure our veterans have the food, housing, and healthcare they deserve. Thank you to all Hoosier veterans for your service.

It remains to be seen what happens in the Senate, but I will not vote in the House for a government funding measure that doesn't protect healthcare. 

Without extending Affordable Care Act tax credits, millions will see health insurance costs double. Hardworking Americans just can't afford that.
November 10, 2025 at 9:44 PM
Can you afford to pay $17,000 more in 2026 for the same health insurance you have now? Of course not.

This week, a constituent told me about a child they met at a local food giveaway. 

A little girl looked around and said, "Look, Mom. We can make sandwiches now!" 

No parent should have their grocery money snatched away from them. No child should ever go hungry.

Experiencing delayed flights and crowded airports? The Trump administration is slowing air traffic volume because of the shutdown, and because exhausted air traffic controllers aren't getting paid.

While President Trump is playing politics with SNAP benefits and while MAGA Republicans are preventing federal employees from receiving their paychecks, Hoosier families still have to eat.
November 5, 2025 at 5:37 PM
UPDATE: Trump backtracked and threatened to refuse to release any SNAP funds.

Then the White House backtracked on Trump's backtrack. 
 
He has the funds. He has a court order. The Trump administration must ensure 22 million children don't go hungry.
The Trump administration has the funds to FULLY sustain SNAP through November. But he’s only funding it partially, doing the bare minimum to satisfy a court order.

He’s playing politics with children’s hunger, and it’s despicable.

Indiana lawmakers will convene on Dec 1 to unfairly redraw our congressional districts 5 years early. 
 
Just last week, my office helped an Indy resident get back $10,000 in Social Security payments. This is the type of work my office does every day — & what's at risk with this blatant power grab.

Indianapolis is coming together to ensure children don't go hungry.

My district in Indianapolis is the only majority-minority district. Mid-decade redistricting is just an attempt to silence dissent.

How can Hoosiers fight unfair
redistricting? As soon as next week, the Indiana Statehouse will vote on this issue. You should contact your state representative AND your state senator. Find your state lawmakers here: iga.in.gov/information/...

In the midst of grocery prices already increasing, President Trump and MAGA Republicans are choosing to suspend SNAP benefits in November leaving nearly 42 million Americans without food. It's time to stop playing politics with hungry seniors, children, and veterans and release the SNAP funds.
October 28, 2025 at 9:08 PM
To do Trump's bidding on redistricting — and go against what Hoosiers have said they want — is a grave mistake.
October 28, 2025 at 8:18 PM
Both parties in Indiana are opposed to redistricting. We will not allow Washington DC to bully our state.
