96&#8202;Passing the 100-day Mark Yesterday marked 100 days since the
118th U.S. Congress officially convened for the first time on January 3,
2023. Of course, members were sworn just a few days later, and since
then, they hit the ground running.

During the campaign last year,
you'll recall House Republicans released the "Commitment to America," a
bold agenda focused on building an economy that's strong, a nation
that's safe, a future that's built on freedom, and a government that's
accountable. If you regularly receive our emails, you've already seen a
glimpse of what House Republicans have done in fulfilling that
commitment — repealing the Democrats' army of IRS agents, eliminating
the military vaccine mandate, passing the Lower Energy Costs Act,
establishing the bipartisan select committee on China, and so much more.
In fact, the House, under the new Republican majority, has sent more
bills to President Biden's desk than the 117th Congress, despite the
Senate being under Democrat control. They've gone on the offensive,
bringing bills and resolutions to the floor for votes and exposing
Democrats for their extreme beliefs and policy positions on the issues
of crime, COVID, and socialism. House Republicans even set a new record
for the most congressional hearings in a single day at 42.
The new
majority and our Republican congressional delegation of Reps. Rudy
Yakym, Jim Banks, Jim Baird, Victoria Spartz, Greg Pence, Larry Bucshon,
and Erin Houchin are working hard every day to get our country back on
track and hold the reckless Biden administration accountable.

And
they're just getting started.

Enjoy this week's newsletter.
Sincerely,
Chairman Kyle Hupfer

&#8202;Governor Holcomb's Week That WasInvesting in Cities, Towns, and
Counties 🛣️ Governor Eric Holcomb welcomed the Hagerstown Little League
team that represented the Great Lakes region in the Little League World
Series las summer to the statehouse this week.
On Wednesday, Governor
Eric Holcomb and the Indiana Department of Transportation (INDOT)
announced the recipients of a combined $133.4 million in state funds as
a part of the Community Crossings program, a part of the governor's Next
Level Roads initiative.

The program offers matching funds to
communities with planned roadwork projects. In total, 224 cities, towns,
and counties will split the funds.

“The continued success of the
Community Crossings program becomes more evident each year," said Gov.
Holcomb. "Improving transportation infrastructure at the most local
level makes communities that much more attractive for business and
Hoosier families alike to connect and grow."

Since 2016, this program
has awarded more than $1.27 billion to local communities to complete
vital infrastructure projects. In 2017, state Republican lawmakers
identified long-term funding for the Community Crossings program as part
of HEA 1002, which Gov. Holcomb signed into law that April.

Community
Crossings is a Republican win that continues paving the way for even
more growth! (See what we did there?)

Holcomb backs the Midwest Alliance for Clean Hydrogen's (MachH2)
application to bring a regional clean hydrogen hub to the Midwest.

&#8202;Inflation Outpaces Wage Gains Now for Two
Years The latest Consumer Price Index (CPI) report released Tuesday
showed inflation has now been at or above 5% for 23 straight months,
well above the Federal Reserve's average target rate of 2%. Meanwhile,
real wages have been negative for 24 straight months — two years!
Don't forget:
Democratshttps://gop.com/rapid-response/biden-is-the-pay-cut-president/
>fueled inflation with their partisan $1.9 trillion spending spree, then
spent two years saying it would be "temporary."
Fromhttps://www.marketwatch.com/story/consumer-prices-rise-more-slowly-c
pi-shows-but-inflation-still-stubbornly-high-74611cd9 >Market Watch:
The numbers: Consumer prices rose a scant 0.1% in March largely because
of lower energy costs, but U.S. inflation more broadly was still high
and showed little sign of quickly subsiding.

Economists polled by
the Wall Street Journal had forecast a 0.2% increase in the consumer
price index. It was the smallest uptick in three months.

The yearly
rate of inflation slowed to 5% from 6% and and touched the lowest level
since May 2021. What’s helped have been extremely high inflation
readings in early 2022 dropping out of the yearly rate.

More
negatively, the so-called core rate of inflation that omits food and
energy rose a sharper 0.4%. Wall Street had forecast a 0.4% gain.
Federal Reserve officials don’t ignore food and energy given their
importance as household staples, but they view the core rate as a more
accurate predictor of future inflation trends.
