The Resiliency of Hoosiers

A historic week is coming to a close, and it is one that I won’t soon forget. I had the high honor to be among the supporters who welcomed Vice President and Second Lady Mike and Karen Pence back home again to Indiana. On behalf of Hoosiers throughout our state, I thanked Mike and Karen for their exemplary service to our state and nation these last four years. As Vice President, Mike Pence served with the character, courage, and honor that we’ve all known him for and that was instilled in him growing up in Columbus.
 
We also heard Governor Holcomb deliver his annual State of the State address. Delivered virtually this year, the governor laid out a bold agenda for Indiana’s future and reminded Hoosiers of our firm foundation. This foundation, laid by Governor Holcomb, Pence, Daniels, and other Republican leaders these last several years, has Indiana in a position to bounce back from the pandemic quickly and continue growing for all Hoosiers. Governor Holcomb is setting up 2021 to be a year of recovery, growth, and continued optimism because Hoosiers are resilient and our future is bright.
  
The New Year is in full swing, the legislative session is heating up and your Indiana Republican Party will continue our relentless pursuit of positive conservative results for our state. To borrow a line from The Who, “I’ve got a feeling ’21 is going to be a good year.”
 
Thanks
Kyle
Governor Holcomb's Week That Was

Holcomb Delivers State of the State

It was a busy week for Governor Holcomb, one that started with the governor paying tribute to Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. The governor encouraged all Hoosiers to honor Dr. King’s legacy by continuing to work together to bend the arc of history further toward equity. We’ve linked to the governor’s video message below.
 
The governor also delivered his fifth State of the State Address. After winning re-election with the most votes for a gubernatorial candidate in Indiana history, this was the first State of the State of the second term. It was also the first State of the State to be delivered from a television studio instead of from the Indiana House chamber, a reminder of how much COVID-19 still continues to impact our lives.

Thank you Vice President Pence

As Vice President Mike Pence and Second Lady Karen Pence departed from Washington on Wednesday, Hoosiers gathered in their home town of Columbus to thank them for their service. Vice President Pence served our country with honor and courage and as Hoosiers, we are forever thankful.
