One way you know we're now officially 88 days away from Election Day? Turn on your TV, and there are political ads! We've officially arrived.
This week, Governor Holcomblaunched the first ad of Indiana's general election. It's called "Proud to Be a Hoosier," and I think it perfectly encapsulates the unity Hoosiers have displayed over the last few months. As the governor narrates in the ad, "We're a strong resilient group of Hoosiers, and there's no challenge we can't overcome when we come together."
And through these difficult times, we've come together under Governor Holcomb's leadership. Usually, Hoosiers don't see their governors lead firsthand, but these aren't usual times. Hoosiers have tuned in and watched every step of the way, and they've seen the tough decisions. Governor Holcomb and Hoosiers statewide have grieved together, celebrated together, and they're continuing to weather this storm together. It's a unique bond.
We're excited to be up on the air with this uniting message. We've purchased seven-figures worth of television ad time, and we're taking our message statewide.
We are One Indiana. And we are One Indiana for All. If you haven't seen it yet, you can watch and share the ad here.
Governor Holcomb has worked throughout his administration to build the best environment for manufacturers. And as part of his Back on Track Plan, he has worked to help safely jumpstart the state’s economy.
“Indiana’s manufacturers produce everything from cars and RVs to vital PPE. But beyond that, they also produce great Hoosier jobs and opportunity as we continue to build One Indiana for All. I thank the Indiana Manufacturers Association for their support as we continue to support our job creators across the state.” – Gov. Holcomb
As Governor Holcomb continues building One Indiana for all, he is dedicated to keeping Indiana the top state in the nation for manufacturing.
Earlier this week, Governor Holcomb also announced measures to support Hoosier housing stability as the moratorium on evictions and foreclosures ends on August 14.
The Indiana Foreclosure Prevention Network is for Hoosiers who are struggling with mortgage payments due to involuntary employment-related financial hardship. Hoosiers at risk of foreclosure can seek assistance through Indiana’s Hardest Hit Fund. To apply, check here.
The Settlement Facilitation Program for Landlords and Tenants this new program through the Indiana Office of Judicial Administration will help tenants and landlords reach agreements in eviction lawsuits by using a neutral third party facilitator. If an agreement is reached, the dispute and any further court action is ended.
The Indiana Housing and Community Development Authority has also built a COVID-19 resource page that is continually updated as their housing assistance programs become available and are updated. Check it out here.

Todd Rokita Will Protect Our Elections & Our 2nd Amendment
Our attorney general nominee, Todd Rokita, has a track record of standing up to the liberal elite and protecting our 2nd Amendment rights. That’s why this week when the New York attorney general announced that she’s filing a lawsuit to dissolve and eliminate the NRA, Todd Rokita spoke out.
"I have always, and will always, stand up and defend our constitutional 2nd Amendment Rights. Period. Instead of an agenda attacking our constitutional rights, these liberal attorney generals should be focused on restoring the rule of law in our country." - Todd Rokita
As attorney general, Todd Rokita will always stand up for and defend Hoosiers' 2nd amendment rights.
But it doesn't just stop at the 2nd Amendment. As the leader behind Indiana's first-in-the-nation voter ID law, Todd Rokita will also work to help continue safeguarding our elections! Listen to this interview he did this week on SiriusXM radio!
