A Little Good News
Over the last few months, it’s sometimes felt like cancellations, restrictions and somber news have overwhelmed our lives as we’ve come to adapt to life during COVID-19. And while we’re still very much living through this pandemic, there have been a few bright spots of good news this last week that have me feeling optimistic about the future of our state – and I hope they’ll leave you feeling good, too.
First, last weekend your Indiana Republican Party had our first Super Saturday where we’ve spoken to Hoosiers by going door to door. We did it by staying socially distanced, and we wore our masks. I’m excited that we can start getting out again to talk with and listen to voters in person again.
Next, this week state convention ballots officially started to hit delegates’ mailboxes. While it’s disappointing that we couldn’t hold our convention in person, I’m still so excited to see this voting in action.
And finally, Governor Holcomb shared some really encouraging economic numbers this week. Indiana unemployment rates have dropped below the national average, while our labor participation rates are moving above the national average! He talks about it more in this video ([link removed][UNIQID]) .
That’s while home sales are currently on pace to beat last year’s sales, and while single-family home building permits are stronger so far in 2020 than they were through this point of 2019.
I’m so proud of Governor Holcomb’s work leading our state, I’m proud of our progress, and I can’t wait to see what’s next!

Indiana: Back on Track
Indiana is getting back on track! Our unemployment rate has dropped below the national average, and more Hoosiers are returning to work. But Governor Holcomb knows that there are still Hoosiers who are struggling.
That's why he's continuing his work on President Donald Trump's American Workforce Policy Advisory Board ([link removed][UNIQID]) , which met today at the White House. Here's what he had to say about his work on this critical board that's working to help Americans build their skills for high-wage, in-demand jobs:
“Now more than ever as Indiana and the country grapple with the economic impacts of COVID-19, I remain focused on investing in people and their potential. I‘m so pleased to partner with the Administration and our nation’s top leaders on the American Workforce Policy Advisory Board to share Hoosier successes and develop a strategy to empower the American workforce to better meet today’s challenges.”

And while many Hoosiers are struggling, Governor Holcomb is also putting federal CARES Act funding to work for Hoosiers who are having trouble paying their rent due to COVID-19.
The Indiana COVID-19 Rental Assistance Program will provide stability for 12,000 Hoosier households:
* Provides up to $500 per month for four months in rental assistance (a maximum of $2,000 in assistance) for those unable to pay rent due to COVID-19
* Assistance is available in 91 counties (Marion County will administer its own program with CARES Act funds)
* The state will make the rent payments directly to the landlord
Applications for assistance open on July 13. To learn more about qualifications and to appy, visit indianahousingnow.org ([link removed][UNIQID]) now.
Super Saturday was Super!
Thank you to all of our grassroots volunteers for your work last weekend during another very successful Super Saturday! We were excited to talk with Hoosiers across the state about the results Republicans like President Trump, Governor Holcomb and our Congressional leaders are delivering every day.
