2025 Legislative Session

John,

 

This week, the 124th Indiana General Assembly convened, officially launching the 2025 legislative session! Our Republican leaders in the House and Senate set the tone on Wednesday, outlining bold legislative agendas and ambitious goals. It's clear that they are ready to roll up their sleeves and work alongside Governor-Elect Mike Braun to deliver results for the people of Indiana.

As we approach Indiana’s Gubernatorial Inauguration on Monday, January 13th, let’s take a moment to celebrate the incredible efforts that brought us here. From grassroots volunteers to state party leaders, Republicans across Indiana worked tirelessly to elect outstanding candidates at every level. Thanks to your dedication, our state is positioned for a bright and prosperous future.

At Indiana GOP HQ, we’re excited for what’s to come in 2025 under Governor-Elect Braun’s leadership, as well as the initiatives from our Republican leaders in the General Assembly. Together, we’ll continue to champion the values and policies that make Indiana strong. 

 

Thank you for all you do!

Erin Lucas, Indiana GOP Interim Chairwoman
