Prudent Next Step

Let’s take a moment to remember our thoughts when we were all hunkered down. Many of us were willing to do anything to get our economy open again (me included). Well, there’s something easy we can all do that could help slow the spread of COVID-19: Wear A Mask.

Here are the facts today: For two straight days, Indiana has reported our largest single-day spikes in COVID-19 cases (954 yesterday and 1,011 today) since the pandemic began. We’re seeing the rate of positive cases increase (3.6% a month ago to 7% 7-day average today), and hospitalizations climb (about 600 a day at the end of June, about 800 a day now).

We all want to keep our loved ones safe, while also keeping our economy getting back on track. We don’t want to have to hunker down again, and we don’t want to go backwards.

Today, to keep our economy open, we must limit the spread of COVID-19. And to do that, we have a tool at our disposal – wearing a face mask. Other states (including many led, like Indiana, by conservative governors) have had to take steps backward in their reopening plans. Governor Holcomb doesn’t want that.

There are no easy decisions left now during this pandemic. Let’s continue to be able to go to work and shop. Let’s send our kids to school and live our lives.

If just a few months ago, you were calling to keep our economy open, please join me in wearing a mask. You don’t have to love it, but you can be part of the solution.

Governor Holcomb's Week That Was

More Hoosier Jobs Are On The Way!

One of Governor Holcomb's biggest priorities is bringing more great jobs and opportunities to all Hoosiers. This week, he was on hand to celebrate the expansion of Hoosier family-owned Palmer Trucks and the groundbreaking of a new Subaru production plant in Lafayette!

On Tuesday, Governor Holcomb joined executives from Palmer Trucks, a third generation, family-owned truck sales, parts and service provider, as the company announced plans to expand its operations in Central Indiana ([link removed][UNIQID]) ! This $17 million expansion will create up to 220 new jobs for Hoosiers.

"With homegrown Hoosier companies like Palmer Trucks at the wheel, Indiana will continue to position our state for long-term economic stabilization and growth." - Gov. Holcomb

On Thursday, Governor Holcomb joined executives from Subaru of Indiana Automotive ([link removed][UNIQID]) to break ground on the company's $158 million Lafayette expansion. To support this growth, the company plans to create up to 350 new jobs for Hoosiers. Subaru is one of more than 300 Japanese businesses in Indiana that together employ more than 67,230 Hoosiers.

“For nearly 35 years, Subaru of America has been an important partner in supporting Indiana's economy and creating great career opportunities in the community.” - Gov. Holcomb

Vice President Mike Pence Thanks Governor Holcomb

Earlier today, Vice President Mike Pence was in Indiana, and he had a message for Hoosiers:

“Wearing a mask wherever state or local health officials indicate that it’s appropriate or when social distancing is not possible is how we keep Indiana opening up.”

“Governor, I want everyone in this state to know the President and I and our entire team fully support your leadership and the steps you’ve taken in Indiana to keep this state on the right track”

Mask Up Hoosiers!

Governor Holcomb announced that starting this Monday, Hoosiers will need to mask up in certain situations in order to combat the state's rise in COVID-19.

This includes while inside a business, a public building, or public space that is open to the public, while using public transit, or while you're not able to socially distance outside.

It doesn't include private offices/workspace, or in many situations where social distancing can be achieved. It also excludes Hoosiers with health conditions that would prevent wearing a mask, Hoosiers who are eating, and Hoosiers attending religious services. Read the full executive order here ([link removed][UNIQID]) for full guidelines and exemptions.

Compliance will focus on continuing to remind Hoosiers about the importance of wearing face coverings.

Welcome Home, Vice President Pence!

It's always great to welcome home Indiana's own Vice President Mike Pence! As we continue to fight the COVID-19 pandemic, he was in Indiana today for a roundtable discussion with Governor Holcomb and education leaders at Marian University to discuss a safe reopening of schools.

Thank you, Vice President Pence, for your leadership during this challenging time!

Last Saturday Was Super!

Thanks to every volunteer across Indiana who was out in the heat last weekend talking to Hoosiers as part of our Super Saturday! This is crucial work that will make a big difference for our entire Republican team – led by our statewide candidates President Trump, Vice President Pence, Governor Holcomb, Lt. Governor Crouch, and attorney general nominee Todd Rokita!
