96 The Presumptive Nominee Congressman Jim Banks joins Chairman
Kyle Hupfer and RNC National Committeewoman Anne Hathaway onstage after
Chairman Hupfer announced Indiana's Republican National Committee (RNC)
members had signed a letter allowing the RNC to provide pre-primary
support.
Last night, over 800 Republicans from across the state came
together in to celebrate our party's proud history, prepare for the
fights ahead this year and next, and solidify the long-term strength of
our party.

We heard from Bowie, Maryland Mayor Pro Tem Roxy Ndebumadu
and honored the third graduating cohort of the Indiana Republican
Diversity Leadership Series, bringing in another group of outstanding
leaders into the party who are spreading our message and ideals into
their communities where Republicans have been underrepresented for far
too long. [link removed] This cohort and
[link removed] those before it are already making a
difference, and I'm confident that some will join the ranks of elected
officials we celebrated last night.

We also heard from Congressman
Jim Banks, but not before making an unprecedented announcement.

As
state party chair, I serve as a member of the Republican National
Committee (RNC) alongside Anne Hathaway and John Hammond. Before
bringing Congressman Banks onstage, I announced that the three of us had
signed a letter under the RNC's Rule 11 to allow the RNC to provide "any
and all pre-primary financial assistance and in-kind aid the RNC may
choose to provide in furtherance of the United States Senate candidacy
of Congressman Jim Banks."

It's clear that Congressman Banks is the
conservative choice and we look forward to him taking the fight for our
conservative Hoosier values to the U.S. Senate as Indiana’s next U.S.
Senator!

 Governor Holcomb's Week That Was💼 Honoring Hoosier Businesse
Governor Eric Holcomb provides remarks during the 2023 Century and Half
Century award ceremony.

companies across the state with the Governor’s Century or Half Century
Business Award.
The honor recognizes “each company’s longevity and
service to its employees, community and the state." What he's saying:
"Every year, the Century and Half-Century Awards remind me of the
dedication and perseverance Hoosiers across the state bring to their
businesses, and each year it is truly an honor to recognize these
organizations that have withstood the test of time, navigated economic
uncertainties and demonstrated unconditional commitment to their
employees and communities across Indiana," said Gov. Holcomb.

Over
the past 32 years, Indiana governors have honored more than 1,200
companies.

      Thank You, Matt Throughout my six
and a half years serving as the chairman of the Indiana Republican
Party, we've had an incredible team working night and day to elect
Republicans up and down the ballot across the state.

I truly believe
that we have the strongest state party in the country, and that our
team, which has been led by Executive Director Matt Huckleby for the
entirety of my tenure, is unmatched.

Today is Matt's last day at the
Indiana Republican Party. Thank you, Matt, for everything you have done
for the party and for Republicans across the state.

Release Bank Records on Hunter Biden Payments from Russian, Kazakh
Oligarchs, Total Clears $20M

News:

House Oversight Committee Chairman Rep. James Comer, R-Ky.,
released a third memo Wednesday about the Biden family’s foreign
business dealings, producing bank records purporting to show that
Hunter Biden and his business associates received millions in payments
from Russian and Kazakhstani oligarchs when his father was vice
president.

The 19-page memo, which provides screenshots of redacted
bank records, says millions in payments came from Ukrainian energy
company Burisma Holdings, as well as Russian oligarch Yelena Baturina
and Kazakhstani oligarch Kenes Rakishev, and that then-Vice President
Biden attended dinners with Baturina, Rakishev and a representative
from Burisma.

"Then-Vice President Biden met—in person, for
significant periods of time—with those individuals or their
representatives," the memo states. "Then-Vice President Biden joined
approximately 20 phone calls on speakerphone with Hunter Biden’s
foreign business associates and attended dinners with foreign oligarchs
who paid huge sums of money to Hunter Biden. Joe Biden, ‘the brand,’
was the only product the Bidens sold."

 💡 Democrats Forget How They Voted The Indiana
Democrat Party and Democrats in the statehouse seem to have forgotten
how they voted on key bills this past legislative session.

Catch up:
Over the past couple weeks, the Indiana Democrat Party has attempted to
attack statehouse Republicans on multiple issues, seemingly forgetting
that their members voted against solutions to those very issues.
[link removed] r">child care,
all but two statehouse Democrats voted against establishing a tax
credit to help expand child care across the state.
[link removed] r">clean water,
all but two statehouse Democrats voted against a 500% increase for
Clean Water Indiana. Pre-K, all but two statehouse Democrats voted
against expanding eligibility for the program, making thousands of more
Hoosier families eligible. The icing on the cake: Democrat State
Senator Andrea Hunley sent out a taxpayer-funded mailer saying she was
proud of what "we" were able to accomplish this past legislative
session.
The problem? She joined all but two statehouse Democrats in
voting against everything she listed, including funding for a homeless
shelter, eliminating textbook fees, doubling the amount of funding for
food banks, and creating an economic enhancement district for downtown
Indianapolis. Statehouse Republicans are the ones delivering for
Hoosiers.
 👀 ICYMI: NBC News: Note Cards and Shorter Stairs:
How Biden's Campaign is Addressing His Age From
[link removed]
ort-stairs-air-force-one-rcna95355 er">NBC News:

"The president of
the United States tripping and falling is never a good moment in the
throes of a re-election campaign. But when the president is 80 years
old and already faces concerns that he’s too old for another term, it’s
something of a crisis ...

"Biden’s answer to voters who question
whether he’s up to the rigors of a second term is simple: 'Watch me.'
The trouble is, voters are watching, and what they’re seeing is
hardening impressions that it’s time for him to step aside, polling
shows. Apart from being the most taxing job on the world stage, the
presidency is also the most public, and signs of advancing age are
tough to miss."
