The Heart of Hoosiers

Yesterday at his daily press conference, Governor Holcomb said something that stuck with me. He said, "It's simply amazing to see the heart of Hoosiers who are hunkered down right now, not slowing down to meet the needs of their neighbors."

Hunkered down...but not slowing down. Across the state, we're seeing stories of Hoosiers stepping up with incredible acts of service to our neighbors. It's stories of companies shifting production -- distilleries making hand sanitizer, manufacturers making personal protective equipment, stories of generous tips on take-out, and stories of people making calls to look in on their fellow Hoosiers.

If you need to lift up, check out Govenror Holcomb's campaign Twitter page ([link removed][UNIQID]) for some really fantastic stories.

That's because we know that while we're social distancing, we're really all in this together. And I'm thankful every day that we're being led through it all by the decisive leadership of Governor Holcomb.

With Governor Holcomb's leadership and the heart of Hoosiers, I know we'll get through this stronger than ever.

- Chairman Kyle Hupfer

Congress Passes Relief for Americans

This week, Congress passed the CARES Act, a $2 trillion package to help Americans, and it was just signed by President Donald Trump!

The CARES Act includes:
* $500 billion in emergency loans for businesses & municipalities that have been affected by the coronavirus.
* $350 million for small business to help them meet payroll and keep Americans employed.
* Will increase unemployment by $600 per week for 4 months.
* Americans will receive a one-time check of $1,200 and $500 per child.
* $150 billion is dedicated to hospitals and medical centers treating coronavirus patients.

Check out what Senators Todd Young and Mike Braun had to say about the CARES Act below:
* Senator Young: “This emergency relief package is designed to help Hoosier families, workers, job creators, healthcare heroes on the front lines, patients, and everyone who has suffered through no fault of their own. Now that an agreement has been reached, we must immediately get this critical relief into the hands of people who need it most...We are going to get through this by working together, and we are going to come out stronger.”
* Senator Braun: "The coronavirus impacts our health and our economy, and I will be supporting this assistance package which provides massive assistance for our hospitals, reaches out to directly help workers keep their jobs & give immediate help to those who lost their jobs, and provides the largest Main Street assistance program in history for small business owners to keep their doors open, which I was personally involved in securing.”
