Hitting the Ground Running in 2025!

John,

 

As we step into 2025, we’re celebrating an incredible year for the Indiana Republican Party.  We finished the year with successes up and down the ballot, from supermajorities in the statehouse to electing a fourth consecutive Republican governor. Now that we are all rested from spending the holiday season with our loved ones, it is time to hit the ground running! 

 

While 2025 is an election-free year, it’s far from a quiet one. This is our opportunity to strengthen our grassroots foundation, energize our supporters, and prepare for the critical 2026 elections. We hope you will join us this year to help lay a foundation for success in the years to come!

 

Thank you for all you do!

Erin Lucas, Indiana GOP Interim Chairwoman
