96 A Message from the ChairwomanThe Filing Deadline is Only Two
Weeks Away!
Friends,

We are only TWO WEEKS away from the filing
deadline to be on the primary election ballot for the all-important 2024
elections. It is crucial for the continued growth of our party that
Republicans in all 92 counties make the time to file for precinct
committeeman and state delegate. We continue to emphasize the importance
of these roles because they are the grassroots foundation of our party.
And when it comes to party building, there is nothing more important
than our grassroots.

We encourage all Republicans who are interested
in building our party to new levels of success to file for these
positions as soon as possible. A strong party requires precinct
committeemen and state delegates that lead us at the local level.
Time is of the essence, so please don't wait! Be sure to file your

CAN-37 form before it's too late. Together, we will continue to build
our party.

Thank you for all that you do.

days of settlement and exchange between us, we’ve blossomed into a
robust economic partnership that saw more than $23 billion of goods
traded. This MOU between us only reaffirms our steadfast commitment to
fostering even deeper bonds for the prosperity and well-being of our

 Republican Lawmakers Are Taking On Reading
Proficiency
This year, Republican lawmakers are focused on improving
reading proficiency throughout the state.

What to know and why it's
important:
Many experts agree that it is crucial to a student’s future
success that they can read by the end of grade 3. Students who are not
proficient readers by this time are likely to experience ongoing
struggles throughout their education.
Indiana’s reading proficiency
scores have dropped by almost 10% over the last decade, from 91.4% in
2013 to 81.9% in 2023. Some Proposed Legislative Solutions as of 1/26
