96 On to November For many candidates and campaign volunteers,
Tuesday's results were the culmination of months of hard work.

To all
of those that put their name on the ballot and to those that put in the
elbow grease to help get their candidate elected, thank you. Whether it
be candidates or campaign staff, our party continues to show that it has
a deep bench of talent that will only continue to grow.

Now, as we
head on to November, it's important that we come together and work to
ensure that Republicans in cities and towns across the state are
elected.

Why's that? Well, because whether you live in Madison,
Evansville, Valparaiso, Angola or anywhere in between, our Republican
mayors and councils are delivering results for their constituents.
Hoosiers know that when they elect our candidates, they can expect great
government service, fiscally-sound budgets, and safer communities. It's
why they continue to send Republicans back to their city and town halls,
and will do so again this year.

But to ensure that happens,
candidates will need your help.

So I encourage you to reach out to a
few local campaigns or perhaps your county chairman to see how you can
get involved over the coming months.

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

 Governor Holcomb's Week That WasAdvancing Indiana's Semiconductor
IndustryGovernor Eric Holcomb speaks at the SelectUSA Investment Summit
in Washington, D.C.
This week, at the SelectUSA Investment Summit in
Washington, D.C., Gov. Eric Holcomb joined Indiana's Secretary of
Commerce, U.S. Senator Todd Young, the president of Purdue University,
and leaders from imec, a world-leading research and innovation hub in
nanoelectronics and digital technologies, to announce a formal
memorandum of understanding (MOU) to jointly advance research and
development in Indiana’s semiconductor sector.

What he's saying:
“Indiana is securing unprecedented economic momentum right now,
particularly in advanced manufacturing, propelled by the strategic
partnerships we have built as we continue to strengthen our growing
semiconductor ecosystem,” said Gov. Holcomb.

The details: Each
institution will provide significant investment per year over the course
of the five-year agreement. The partnership focuses on bringing together
world-class expertise and state-of-the-art technology with the exchange
of students, faculty and professionals between Indiana and Belgium to
foster further collaborative research and innovation capacity.
 More: Last week, Gov. Holcomb provided an overview of the key
components of his 2023 Next Level Agenda that the legislature approved
this session.

  Indiana Capital Chronicle:
Holcomb signs new two-year budget, 90 other bills into lawFrom
[link removed]
ar-budget-90-other-bills-into-law/ Indiana Capital Chronicle:
"Indiana Gov. Eric Holcomb gave his final stamp of approval Thursday to
the state’s next two-year budget, which features big spending on health
care, accelerated tax cuts and a near-universal private school voucher
program.

"The $44 billion plan is the last Holcomb will sign before
his term concludes at the end of 2024.

"The biggest chunk of the
budget is dedicated to K-12 education — accounting for nearly $21
billion, or 47%, of all appropriations.

"Republican lawmakers touted
an 10% increase in overall K-12 tuition support formula over the
biennium. But much of that increase is earmarked towards the expansion
of Indiana’s Choice Scholarships — which allow families to receive
vouchers to attend private schools."

 House
Republicans Push Back on Biden Administration's False Claims on VA and
Veterans U.S. House Republicans are condemning the Department of
Veteran Affairs for "the dishonest, partisan use of the VA to spread
fear and anxiety among America’s veterans regarding their benefits."
Driving the news: The VA recently sent out a news release, which has
been amplified by the president's administration, that falsely states
the recently-passed Limit, Save, Grow Act of 2023 "would threaten
medical care for 30 million veterans, worsen wait times for hundreds of
thousands of veterans and survivors applying for benefits, and fail to
honor the memory of all veterans."

The facts: The Limit, Save, Grow
Act does not make any specific cuts to the VA or veterans, but merely
sets a topline number for total federal spending, returning it to
fiscal year 2022 levels. Furthermore, every individual in the U.S.
House Republican leadership has committed that veterans’ health care
and benefits are not on the table.

From the Washington Post Fact
Checker: "The White House acts as if the numbers it conjured up are
real..."

From the House Republicans'
[link removed]
/VA-Misinformation-Letter-5-4.pdf letter: "Many members of Congress are
deeply troubled and personally offended that the Biden Administration
continues to use these dishonest talking points to create panic and
fear in our veteran populations. The VA’s mission is to care for our
veterans who have borne the battle. Our veterans made great sacrifices
so that we may have the privilege to live freely in this great Nation.
They did not make those sacrifices to be a talking point for a
political party’s gain."
