Fired Up for 2026


John,

Thanks to the leadership of Governor Mike Braun and our Republican majorities
in the General Assembly, this session delivered on property tax relief, school
choice, public safety, healthcare reform, and more. Our Republican leadership
has proven that conservative and responsible governance delivers real results,
and it is up to us to defend our majorities and empower our leadership to keep
up the fight for Hoosiers.

The 2026 election cycle is fast approaching—and with it, a chance to grow our
party, defend our values, and keep Indiana on the path of Freedom and
Opportunity. That means organizing now: growing our base, supporting grassroots
leaders, and ensuring every Hoosier community hears our message.



Since becoming your Chairwoman, I have spent my time traveling across our
state to rally our supporters, hear from Hoosiers, and prepare our party for
what comes next. I have been joined in this effort by Governor Braun, Lt.
Governor Micah Beckwith, Secretary Diego Morales, Treasurer Daniel Elliott,
Comptroller Elise Nieshalla, Attorney General Todd Rokita, and our
congressional delegation, and I am confident that together we can building the
strongest, most united Republican Party Indiana has ever seen—a party that’s
ready to win in 2026 and beyond.



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
