Historic Approval

Throughout these last few months, Governor Holcomb has been talking with Hoosiers directly. On an almost daily basis, he's shared updates about actions he's taken to protect Hoosiers' health and how he's worked to get our state safely back on track.

In this crisis situation, there’s been a connection built between an elected official and his constituency like we’ve never seen. We did a poll last week to see what Hoosiers were thinking, and they told us.

They said that 83% percent approve of the governor’s response to the pandemic and 79% approval of his overall job performance. It's consistent with numbers we've seen from the Washington Post poll released last week.

That support then carries over to November. A head-to-head match-up favors Governor Holcomb by a landslide margin. Sixty-four percent support the governor with only 21% supporting the presumptive Democrat nominee.

Governor Holcomb knows that when you have the right policies, the politics will take care of themselves. That’s why he’ll continue to be laser-focused on guiding our state through the pandemic and ensuring we come roaring back better than ever before.

#BackonTrack,
- Chairman Kyle Hupfer
Governor Holcomb's Week That Was

Back on Track:
Mental Health & Scientific Testing

As we continue our state's phased reopening, most of Indiana is in Phase 3 of Indiana's Back on Track plan! And as we continue Indiana's phased, safety-focused reopening, Governor Holcomb wants to make sure Hoosiers are continuing to take care of the full sphere of their health. 

Check out some resources he highlighted this week:

  • Telehealth services: Claims for mental health services have remained at a steady rate compared to pre-pandemic rates. And that’s because we’re seeing an increase in services provided through telehealth.
  • Naloxone & Substance Abuse Treatment: Indiana is providing more naloxone kits directly to the public – one of the only tools available to reverse an overdose. And remember – treatment is available. Just call 211 or visit www.treatmentconnection.com to get connected to help.
  • Domestic Violence and Suicide Prevention Hotlines: Resources are available if you’re in a bad situation at home or have thoughts of suicide. Call the Domestic Violence Hotline at 1-800-779-7233 or the Suicide Crisis Line at 1-800-273-TALK.
  • Online Mental Health Tools: Last month, Indiana unveiled a new website, BeWellIndiana.org, that’s putting free mental health resources at Hoosiers’ fingertips. And so far, there have already been more than 10,000 clicks on the website’s resources.

Starting next week, Phase 2 of Indiana’s scientific study of the spread of COVID-19 across our state is beginning! If you get a text message or a postcard inviting you to participate, please respond. Your response helps guide Indiana’s data-driven reopening and informs Governor Holcomb's decisions. This is just another way we can be #INThisTogether and help our communities.

To stay up to date on the latest developments, please make sure you're following Governor Holcomb on Facebook, Twitter and Instagram! 

Thank you to every Hoosier who is doing his or her part to stop the spread of the coronavirus and flatten the curve. We're #INThisTogether, and we're getting #BackOnTrack!

 
Thank you, President Trump! 
 
Huge news! Just yesterday, President Donald Trump announced that as part of the CARES Act, the U.S. Department of Transportation was investing $177.5 million into Indiana's infrastructure. This encompasses a $100 million investment into the South Shore Line in Northwest Indiana and a $77.5 million investment into the IndyGo Purple Line in Marion County. 

Thank you, President Trump!

2020 Indiana Republican Convention Goes Virtual
 
Earlier this month we announced that unfortunately, due to restrictions because of COVID-19, this year's 2020 Indiana Republican State Convention would be held virtually. 

The Indiana Republican State Committee unanimously approved temporary rules that will allow us to hold a virtual contention and mail-in voting, which will mirror many aspects of our in-person conventions, ensuring all delegates will be able to vote.

A few important dates:
June 2 – Indiana Primary (delegates will be elected)
June 22 – Approximate date that delegates will receive ballots from a third-party vendor
July 9 – Deadline for a delegate’s ballot to be received by the third-party accounting firm
July 10 – Ballots will be counted with watchers present, and winners will be announced
 
More updates will continue to be provided. For more information, read Chairman Hupfer’s full letter here or watch his video here.
