Ensuring You're Prepared to Vote

With the 2024 General Election less than two months away and early voting starting soon, it is important for Hoosiers to be prepared to vote.

To check your voting status or register to vote, you can visit IndianaVoters.com. The website also allows you to see who will be on your ballot this year.

You can also register to vote in person at your local county clerk's office.

The deadline to register to vote in Indiana is Oct. 7, and this year's General Election will take place Nov. 5.

To support a fair and secure election system, I have supported laws that:

Strengthen identification requirements for mail-in ballots;
Increase election security; and
Ensure elections in Indiana are fair.

National Surgical Technologists Week

Sept. 15 - 21 is annual National Surgical Technologists Week, and I ask you to join me in celebrating all of the amazing surgical technologists in Senate District 17!

Surgical technologists serve as a surgeon's right-hand by providing surgical instruments and supplies to the surgeon during an operation. These hard-working individuals are responsible for maintaining the sterile surgical field and ensuring the team adheres to aseptic and sterile technique.

Anyone who has undergone a surgical operation should know that a surgical technologist was present during the procedure and a vital part of the operation.

Let us take this week as a chance to celebrate our surgical technologists and their dedication to patient safety!

Observing Patriot Day

This week we pause to remember the victims of the 9/11 attacks and all the bravery displayed that day.

May we never forget those we lost, and let us be forever grateful for the first responders who answered the call to serve their fellow Americans.

Programs and Grants for Local Government

Districts across Indiana can utilize state-funded grants and other programs to maintain and improve their communities. Highlighted below is one of many grants and programs offered or administered by the state of Indiana.

Indiana Criminal Justice Institute (ICJI) - Juvenile Diversion Grant Program

This program provides funds to counties to prevent further involvement of a child in the formal legal system and provides eligible children with alternatives to adjudication to emphasize the use of restorative justice practices and improve positive outcomes for a child.

As of 2023, Senate District 17 has received $20,000 in funding from the Juvenile Diversion Grant Program.
