America Will Never Forget
24 years ago. America will Never Forget.

Rest In Peace Charlie Kirk
Charlie Kirk was one of the most influential leaders in the conservative movement. He inspired so many students with open and honest dialogue on college campuses across the country. He was a warrior and a friend. There is no place for political violence in the United States of America. Amanda and I are praying for his wife, children, and the millions of Americans impacted by this horrific assassination.

Honoring Our Hoosier Heroes
It was an honor to visit with Honor Flight Northeast Indiana at the World War II Memorial in D.C. Visiting with Hoosier veterans is one of the best parts of my job.

Make Federal Architecture Beautiful Again
Americans want their federal buildings to reflect the strength, beauty, and tradition of our country. This bill ensures our architecture honors our history, includes local input from our communities, and celebrates American tradition.
My new bill establishes that it is the policy of the United States that classical and traditional architecture should be the preferred design for all federal public buildings. This applies to federal buildings across the country, not just those in the D.C. metro area. Click here to learn more.

Interstate 69 Ohio River Crossing Project
I recently sent a letter to Transportation Secretary Sean Duffy urging continued federal support for the Interstate 69 Ohio River Crossing (I-69 ORX), an important project that will boost regional connectivity and economic growth by supplementing the aging Highway 41 twin bridges with a safer, more modern interstate link between Evansville, Indiana, and Henderson, Kentucky.

My New Bill: The GAIN Act
The GAIN AI Act puts American companies and researchers before our adversaries like China. This is America First in action. Click here to watch me discuss on Bannon’s War Room. |

Rose Garden Renovation Event
President Trump’s renovation of the Rose Garden will be enjoyed by Americans for generations to come.
Honored to be among his first guests with friends like Rep. Brian Babin and others.

General Christopher Mahoney
Great to talk with Marine GEN Mahoney yesterday about how we can get weapons to our warfighters faster. Looking forward to voting for his confirmation as President Trump’s Vice Chairman of the Joint Chiefs of Staff!

John Ottis Adams’ Harvest Moon
Big thanks to the Indiana State Museum for loaning my D.C. office John Ottis Adams’ beautiful piece, Harvest Moon. It was painted back in 1896 and brings a little piece of Indiana’s cozy fall to Washington

Veterans History Project
The Veterans History Project (VHP) was created by Congress in 2000 to collect and preserve the first-person narratives from United States military veterans from World War I through present day. Click here if you are a Hoosier veteran and would like to sit down and share your service story.
