96 A Message from the ChairwomanFinishing Primary Season Strong 💪

Friends,



We are almost there! Tuesday, May 7th is Primary election day!! To all
those who have already cast their votes through early or absentee voting
-- thank you!! Your unwavering commitment ensures that we pave the way
for Republicans to be elected and provide leadership for our
communities, our state, and our country, which allow our families the
best opportunity to live the American dream.



If you have not yet voted, please make sure you take the time on or
before May 7th. We also need your help!! It’s important that we ask our
friends, family, and fellow Republicans to get out to the polls, or
better yet, take them with you when you go to vote. It is imperative
that Republicans show up and VOTE to elect our leaders of tomorrow. This
is your opportunity, go vote!



While Tuesday is an important benchmark in this election year, this is
only the next chapter of a long journey. We have many days of work and
campaigning ahead of us to ensure we win back the White House and the
U.S. Senate, while retaining Republican supermajorities in the
Statehouse and a Republican Governor. Our effort and commitment will
help us to achieve Republican victories at every level come November!



If you are unsure about your voting location you can check your voter

Thank you for your continued support and for all that you do.

work thanks to the partnership of companies like Google,” said Gov.
Holcomb. “Not only is Google choosing Indiana to power its global AI and
cloud infrastructure, but we’re thrilled to see the company already
investing heavily in the northeast Indiana community. These initiatives
will help skill up our Hoosier workforce, preparing residents for the
jobs of the future. And, at the same time bringing clean energy

  Indiana State Treasurer Daniel Elliott Announced Indiana's
Purchase of Another $5 million in Israeli Bonds 🇺🇸 🇮🇱Indiana State
Treasurer Daniel Elliott announced the purchase of another $5 million in
Israeli Bonds, bringing Indiana’s total investment in the U.S. ally to
$110 million.



Israel is a long time, strong ally of the United States, and Indiana is
proud to not only show them our support, but to also see the great
returns on investment for our state. Treasurer Elliott has doubled down
on previous investments in Israeli bonds, throwing his support behind
our ally despite the current attempts to set up encampments on college
campuses, including Indiana University. We at the Indiana Republican
Party applaud Treasurer Elliott.



“While there may be a few loud individuals on college campuses and other
places that want us to abandon Israel, I believe now is the time to
refocus and recommit to our most important ally,” Elliott said. “We
don’t need to boycott and divest, but engage and invest.”



The Indianapolis Jewish Community Relations Council (JCRC), the public
affairs, interfaith, and intergroup relations arm of the organized
Jewish community, released a statement in support of Treasurer Elliott.



“Thank you to Treasurer Elliott for his leadership,” says Jamie Ratner
Rich, JCRC’s President. “Investing in Israel bonds sends a loud and
clear signal that Indiana stands with and supports Israel.”

  A Massive Week for the Future of the Hoosier Economy Statewide!
👏 As a reminder, while these numbers are big and flashy, what's
important is the meaning behind them. These numbers mean more jobs,
higher wages, and more economic opportunities in every area of the
state.



Combined, last week saw the commitment of $14.4 billion in new
investments and 1,500+ high-wage new jobs on their way to Indiana. These
new investments are bringing new jobs and higher wages to local
economies across Indiana. These statewide investments highlight the
strength of the Hoosier economy in all 92 counties, reaching from the
far southwest end, all the way up to the northeast side of the state.



Here's a rundown of the investments we saw just last week!



1) Toyota

$1.4 billion committed to their existing facility in the southwest end
of our state in Princeton, IN. 340 new jobs created by 2035 (Toyota
already employs 7,500 people in southwest Indiana). The company’s
investment will provide new plant infrastructure, including a new
battery pack assembly line at the facility, to support production of an
all-new battery electric SUV. Toyota’s Princeton facility has been part
of the community for nearly 30 years and has invested a total of over $8
billion since arriving. This is Toyota’s 3rd major expansion of their
Princeton facility in 4 years. Toyota isn’t just investing in their own
facilities; they’re investing in the community. Toyota has supported
multiple projects, including the new Toyota Indiana YMCA in Princeton
and The District housing complex in Princeton, to provide access to
health and wellness, community support and housing for all residents
while helping employers like Toyota and its many suppliers attract even
more talent to the region.2) Google

$2 billion committed to a new data center in the northeast side of our
state in Fort Wayne, IN, powering the company’s AI innovations and
growing Google Cloud business. 200 new jobs, including facilities, data
center technicians and support services, security, and grounds keeping.
The Google Skilled Trades and Readiness (STAR) program, in partnership
with Ivy Tech Community College, will help increase the entry-level
pipeline in the skilled trades. These pre-employment programs offer paid
training and networking opportunities to help participants move directly
into employment on local construction projects. 3) Amazon Web Services

$11 billion committed to build a data center campus in north central
Indiana. 1,000 + new jobs. THE LARGEST COMMITTED CAPITAL INVESTMENT IN
INDIANA HISTORY. The new data centers will contain computer servers,
data storage drives, networking equipment, and other forms of technology
infrastructure used to power cloud computing capabilities, and
generative artificial intelligence (AI) technologies.

These commitments are a combined $14.4 billion in new investments and
1,500+ new high-wage jobs.



Indiana is not just bringing in new jobs and stimulating local
communities, but we are bringing in jobs of the future so that we can
see these economic gains for generations.
