Looking Forward From a Historic Session


John,



This week, Governor Mike Braun signed Indiana’s biennial budget, keeping us
debt-free, preserving our AAA credit rating, and investing in the core
priorities that matter most: education, public safety, and real tax relief.
Governor Braun and the General Assembly have delivered a budget that reflects
real Hoosier priorities and positions Indiana to move forward more efficient,
more responsive, and more secure than ever.



Now, with session behind us, we as Indiana Republicans must turn our attention
to what comes next. We must continue building the infrastructure and energy
necessary to compete and win in every corner of our state. That means growing
our ranks, investing in our grassroots leaders, and keeping our members engaged.



The 2026 election cycle will be here before we know it. To keep Indiana on the
right track, we need a party that’s unified, energized, and ready to fight for
conservative victories up and down the ballot. With your support, we will
continue to reach new voters, energize our base, and ensure Indiana remains a
national model for commonsense conservative leadership.



Here at Indiana GOP HQ, we stand ready to support you in all the incredible
work you do, and I am confident that together we will continue delivering
historic victories for Hoosiers.



As always, thank you for being a part of our team. Please feel free to reach
out if there's anything I can assist with.







Lana Keesling, Indiana GOP Chairwoman
