Congratulations Adam Mildred

Honored to speak at the swearing-in ceremony for Adam Mildred as U.S Attorney for the Northern District of Indiana in Fort Wayne. Adam has dedicated his career to law and order and I look forward to all he will continue to do to keep Indiana safe!

No Funding For Foreign Agents Act

This week, I introduced the No Funding for Foreign Agents Act. This bill works to ensure American taxpayer dollars don’t end up in the hands of foreign agents who work against American interests.

The Somali fraud scandal has revealed how broken the system is. Foreign officials were able to take advantage of American taxpayers. This bill stops it and puts Americans first. Click here to learn more.

I Stand With President Trump 

President Trump went after narco-terrorist Nicolás Maduro and America is safer as a result. I won’t vote to tie the President’s hands.

I fully support his efforts to protect America’s interests in the Western Hemisphere and keep Communist China out of our backyard. Click here to learn more.

National Law Enforcement Appreciation Day

Big thank you to the men and women who put it all on the line to keep us safe. I’ll always stand with law enforcement.

The Made in America Economy Is Roaring Back

The rest of the world keeps buying more American goods thanks to President Trump’s leadership. The Made in America economy is roaring back.

Making America Healthy Again

This matters to regular families. It affects what we buy, what we cook, and what our kids eat. The new food pyramid from the Trump admin is a big deal and a real step toward Making America Healthy Again. Click here to learn more.

Indiana State Police Makes Huge Drug Bust

Huge credit to the Indiana State Police for great work. During a traffic stop on I-70 in Putnam County, troopers and a K-9 unit found more than 300 pounds of cocaine worth about $7 million. That is a massive amount of dangerous drugs that will never reach our communities.

The suspects are now facing felony charges and have been placed on ICE deportation holds.

What is especially concerning is that they were reportedly swerving and crossing lanes while driving. That kind of reckless behavior puts innocent people at risk every day on our roads. Sadly, this is one of many cases of illegal immigrants threatening the safety of families in Indiana. We must deport them all.

Thanks to Indiana State Police, a serious threat was stopped and both deadly drugs and a potential highway tragedy were likely prevented. Indiana is safer because of their work.

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. Please call my office if you are a Hoosier veteran and would like to sit down and share your service story.
