Builders Love Governor Holcomb!

It's Valentine's Day, and there's no doubt that love (and a whole lot of support in this election) is in the air this week. That's because the Indiana Builders Association -- an organization made up of builders, remodelers, developers and subcontractors in the residential and light construction industries -- endorsed Governor Holcomb for reelection!

And this isn't just any endorsement. This is the Indiana Builders Association's first ever endorsement! In their 68 years as an organization, the group has never before come out in support of a gubernatorial candidate. But when it comes to Governor Holcomb, they see a leader who is bringing jobs to our state and building an even better place to live and work.

The Indiana Builders Association is joining the Indiana State Police Alliance and the Indiana Chamber of Commerce with this endorsement. The Indiana Builders Association is 2,700 members strong, with members employing 350,000 Hoosiers. And they're focused on Putting People First in every community in our state...just like Governor Holcomb, which is why he's thankful to have their support.

Governor Holcomb's Week That Was

Helping Hoosier Educators & Students Succeed

This week, Governor Holcomb listened to teachers and signed legislation that will ensure Indiana’s students, teachers and schools will have time to successfully adjust to the new ILEARN. Holding schools harmless allows educators to remain focused on helping Hoosier students succeed and delivering a quality education.

Holding schools harmless during this transition period is a key part of Governor Holcomb’s 2020 Next Level Agenda. Governor Holcomb is continuing to deliver results for all Hoosiers and is working hard to continue Putting People First!

Chairman Hupfer Joins Indiana Latino Legislative Breakfast

On Tuesday, Chairman Kyle Hupfer joined the Indiana Latino Institute for the group's annual legislative breakfast. At the event, he highlighted Governor Holcomb's record of success and the importance of Indiana Republicans continuing to broaden our outreach to more Hoosiers from minority communities.

Here's an excerpt from his speech:

“As I said at our state convention a couple years ago, we have got to make a more concerted effort to grow diversity and inclusion within our ranks. Our policies are great and right, but communities of color need to not only see and know someone that looks like them in our party, but also know that we’re a big tent and we welcome new ideas and fresh debate around important issues. We don’t have to agree all the time... that’s part of what makes us strong and differentiates us from the other side. We want—we need—people who bring different things to the table but share common values. Values like caring for our most vulnerable... the value of hard work, knowing that hard, honest work is the best way to improve your life and the lives of your family. We believe that good policy happens when we listen—not talk at—people and communities. Both the Governor and I are committed to this.”
