Coalitions of Support

One of the most gratifying aspects of my role is to help build coalitions across the state for the party and for Governor Holcomb. This year has been a whirlwind as I have met with so many wonderful Hoosiers and groups that are making a difference in our state.
 
That's included our business leaders with groups like the Indiana Chamber of Commerce, the National Federation of Independent Businesses, and the Associated Builders and Contractors of Indiana/Kentucky, who have worked hard to keep our economy growing through this pandemic. 

It's included our police and firefighters. I'm so honored that as they go out and stand for us daily, several of their top associations -- including the Professional Firefighters Union of Indiana, the Indiana State Police Alliance, and the Fraternal Order of Police -- have chosen to stand with Governor Holcomb in support of his reelection.

It's included those who stand for our 2nd Amendment rights, such as the NRA.

And it's included the strongest defenders of life in this state, the Indiana Right to Life. 

I thank all of them for their time and efforts. Just today, we witnessed a great example of that coalition building when Indiana Right to Life submitted an op-ed supporting Governor Holcomb's fight for life. You can read it here. 
 
This is among dozens and dozens of other examples that show the depth and breadth of the support for the Republican Party and our candidates from President Trump and Vice President Pence, Governor Holcomb and Lt. Governor Crouch, Todd Rokita, our congressional and statehouse candidates and local candidates across the state.

Governor Holcomb's Week That Was

More Hoosier Jobs Are On The Way!

It's been another busy week for Governor Holcomb! As he continues building One Indiana for All, he is working hard to create more opportunities for Hoosiers.

On Thursday, Governor Holcomb joined local officials and executives of POET, the world's largest biofuels producer, to break ground on an expansion to the company’s bioprocessing facility in Alexandria. 

Thanks to our state's business-friendly environment, POET is investing $25 million into its Indiana operations and is planning to scale-up production of purified alcohol, a key component of hand sanitizer. To make this announcement even better, POET purchases more than 100 million bushels of Indiana-produced corn annually. This supports Hoosier farmers and the state’s agricultural economy. And with this expansion, that number is growing.

This week, Governor Holcomb also announced that the U.S. Department of Defense will establish its Joint Hypersonics Transition Office (JHTO) Systems Engineering Field Activity in Indiana, accelerating research and development (R&D) and testing in hypersonic technologies at Naval Surface Warfare Center (NSWC) Crane Division.

Governor Holcomb has set a goal to triple Indiana’s defense investment by 2024, and this huge announcement is bringing us another step closer to that goal. The new facility will allow the Department of Defense to develop and improve technologies and capabilities in hypersonics by utilizing NSWC Crane's strategic assets and growing network of government, industry and academic partners.

"Today's announcement is another signal to the world that Indiana is poised to be a leader in hypersonics, with strategic assets such as NSWC Crane and our world-class research institutions fueling growth and advancements in the field. We're excited the Department of Defense has chosen Indiana to establish its JHTO Systems Engineering Field Activity, and grateful to our state's leaders in Washington D.C. and here at home for their commitment to increasing defense investment and opportunities in Indiana." -Governor Holcomb

Judge Barrett Proves Qualifications & Wisdom
at Confirmation Hearings
 
The Supreme Court confirmation hearings have finished, and Judge Amy Coney Barrett proved to all Americans that she's more than qualified to join the high court! 

Democrats spent their time during the confirmation hearings asking questions trying to trip her up -- but they struck out every time. Her answers were quick, concise, and to the point. At one point during the hearing, she was even asked to show what notes she had written down on her note pad. In response, she flipped it around, showing it was empty (watch that moment here).

Amy Coney Barrett showed time and time again during the hearings that she was not there for games, and is ready to join the U.S. Supreme Court!
