96 A Message from the ChairwomanMerry Christmas!
Friends,

From
all of us at Indiana GOP HQ, we want to wish you a very Merry
Christmas!!! This is a time for each of us to step away from the hustle
and bustle, and spend quality time with friends and family recharging
for the year ahead!

2023 has been an amazing year and it's all
because of the hard work, dedication, and sacrifice from each of you. We
have a built a GREAT Republican team and we are looking forward to
2024!!! 2024 is going to be a HUGE Election year for our state and our
country -- together we will make sure we put America on the right track
and that Indiana continues to be a state that others admire and envy.
Thank you for all that you do.

-development-key-in-final-year/ sat down for multiple end of year
interviews this week, in which he reflected on his 7 years in office
and what is coming in 2024.

What he’s saying: "Next year will be
about landing and launching, meaning landing certain projects or deals
and finishing what we started and then launching new. I don’t want
there to be a sense in this administration that we’re just landing
planes safely. We have to be launching”,

 ✅ 2023 End of Year
Recap
2023 has been an extremely successful year for Hoosiers.
Republican leadership continues to make Indiana one of the best places
to live.

At the local level, we secured a record 76 mayors
statewide. This includes flipping 14 mayors’ offices across the state.
Our Republican Diversity Leadership Series continues to grow the party
and reach new members, including two alumni being elected to local
offices. And Republican led cities in Indiana continue to rank
nationally among the best places to live!

In the State Legislature
this year, Republicans really focused on making sure your state
government is working for you.

Here are just a few things
Republicans were able to accomplish:

- Increased pay for state
police, state conservation officers, and state excise police

-
Approved a $7 million investment into regional firefighting training
infrastructure and an additional $10 million to help purchase equipment
for volunteer firefighter organizations

- Increased K-12 funding
with an additional $1.5 BILLION in new money, including teacher pay
raises and covering the costs of textbooks for all Hoosier families.
Republicans accomplished all this while also lowering taxes and
balancing the budget! We’re so thankful for all of these successes this
year.
