Exciting news to end a busy week! We learned this morning that Indiana's unemployment rate continues to plummet. Our rate is now 7.8%, 2.4% below the national average. Governor Holcomb is getting Indiana Back on Track and Hoosiers are getting back to work.
Earlier this week, during a statewide address, Governor Holcomb announced initiatives that will enhance equity and inclusion in our state. The governor’s ongoing commitment to these issues shows, once again, that he’s dedicated to building One Indiana for All. You can read more about the speech below.
Our Lt. Governor, Suzanne Crouch, did us proud earlier this week when she won her debate against the Democrat and Libertarian lt. governor candidates. Indiana farmers and rural residents couldn’t have a better champion in their corner than Suzanne. Her knowledge, experience, and passion for these issues were on full display. Congratulations Suzanne!
Less than a week after we welcomed Hobart Mayor Brian Snedecor to our party, Lowell Town Council President, and now former Democrat, Mike Gruszka joined our party as well! He cited the far leftward tilt of today’s Democrats as a reason for his switch. We’re happy to have you join and our welcome mat is always out for more disaffected Democrats!
All these great things were happening while the bedrock of our party, our grassroots supporters, continue to demonstrate why we’re going to win big this November. Hundreds of GOP volunteers canvassed the state, knocking doors for President Trump, Governor Holcomb, Todd Rokita, and all our Republican candidates up and down the ballot. Our energy and enthusiasm can’t be matched!
Thank you for all you do to support this party.
-Chairman Kyle Hupfer
Governor Holcomb's Week That Was
Opportunity For All
Earlier this week, Governor Holcomb delivered a thoughtful, open, and groundbreaking speech on equity and inclusion in Indiana. After months of speaking with Black leaders and stakeholders statewide – including business owners, college presidents, law enforcement, corporate executives, church leaders, and everyday citizens – Governor Holcomb laid out a plan that addresses the root causes of inequity and takes action to promote equality, inclusion, and opportunity for all.
“What I’ve laid out today are the first steps in a broad effort to make sure Indiana is a place where every Hoosier has an equal opportunity to achieve our founders’ vision of ‘Life, Liberty and that pursuit of Happiness.’” – Gov. Holcomb
On Wednesday Lt. Governor Suzanne Crouch debated the other LG candidates and promoted the Holcomb-Crouch record on agriculture and rural affairs. Suzanne won this one going away and highlighted the many agricultural accomplishments of the team over the last four years. This includes:
$100 million investment in high-speed, affordable rural broadband access
Expanding state parks, trails, forests, and natural resources
Creating new healthcare options for farmers
Assisting the agriculture industry in COVID-19 recovery
Attracting more mid-level livestock processing plants, and more!
“Today we’ve come to a point that the progressive left has gone so far left that they don’t share my beliefs anymore,” said Lowell Town Council President Mike Gruska when announcing his party switch. Welcome to the GOP Mike!
