Help Keep Our Roads Safe From Illegals

I’ve launched the TRUCKSAFE TIPLINE.

If you’re a trucker or work in the industry and see something unsafe or know of shady carriers hiring illegals, I want to hear from you.

Too many Hoosiers have been killed or hurt by illegal drivers who should’ve never been on our roads in the first place. Click here to learn more about how to help keep our roads safe.

Floor Speech On Deadly Jay County Crash

At least 7 Hoosiers killed. 8 more injured.

All in just six months because of illegals who should’ve never been here in the first place.

I spoke on the Senate floor about why we need to get illegal truckers off our roads and out of our country ASAP! Click here to watch.

My Bill Signed Into Law By President Trump

My bill, the Save Our Safety-Net Hospitals Act of 2025, was passed in the Senate and enacted into law.

A recalculation in a federal funding formula shortchanged Indiana hospitals that serve rural and low-income urban areas. This bill corrects that and delivers the support they were intended to receive. Click here to learn more.

We Must Pass The SAVE America Act

We have to pass the SAVE America Act ASAP!

Over 80% of Americans support voter ID.

I talked about it with Larry Kudlow and you can watch by clicking here.

100% Award From FRC Action 

Proud to have received the 100% award from FRC Action for having a perfect scorecard for the first session of the 119th Congress. I will always vote to defend conservative pro-family, pro-life values!

NATL Association of State Approving Agencies Award 

It is an honor to receive the Lifetime Achievement Award from the National Association of State Approving Agencies and I’m grateful for their work helping veterans get the education benefits they’ve earned. I’ll always fight for our veterans!

Greenland Is Critical To Our National Security 

It was great to meet with Danish Ambassador Jesper Moller Sorensen and Jacob Isbosethsen, Head of Representation of Greenland, earlier this week.

We had a great conversation about America’s role in Greenland and Arctic security, the Golden Dome missile defense system, and the need to protect rare earth minerals from falling into enemy hands.

We also discussed the importance of keeping China out from Greenland. We agreed that we cannot allow the CCP to gain control in the Arctic circle.

President Trump is clear that Greenland and the Arctic play important roles in our national security. Under his leadership, we will ensure that the United States is stronger than ever.

Meeting With Northern Indiana Mayors

Great meeting with Nappanee Mayor Phil Jenkins, Elkhart Mayor Rod Roberson, and Kosciusko County Councilwoman Kathy Groninger. Proud to represent great communities in northern Indiana!

Meeting With Tony Waterson

Great visiting with fellow Columbia City High School grad and Southern Indiana Works CEO Tony Waterson. He’s doing a great job to help grow the workforce and create job opportunities in southern Indiana. Very proud of Tony!

Meeting With Hoosier Law Enforcement And Educators 

Great meeting with Indiana law enforcement and educators in DC about the work they’re doing to keep drugs off our streets and away from our kids.

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.
