Graduation Time

Next Friday, July 23, we will celebrate the graduation of the inaugural class of our Indiana Republican Party Diversity Leadership Series. Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel and Governor Eric Holcomb will join us that afternoon and deliver remarks to the class. Your Indiana Republican Party is leading efforts to grow our party. We are the first state party to have a series specifically focused on growing our party among traditionally underrepresented communities across the state. Our series is being talked about nationally and others states looking to replicate. I hope you can join us for this first-ever graduation luncheon. Details on tickets and sponsorship opportunities are below.

Thanks,

Kyle

Governor Holcomb's Week That Was

Governor Holcomb's Statement on Close of 2021 Fiscal Year

"Because of the strong position Indiana occupied going into last year’s unprecedented global pandemic and partnerships at all levels of government, we now find ourselves at a place of full employment and growing economy. State fiscal leaders deserve high praise for closely monitoring financial forecasts and then quickly adapting to the facts on Main Street, Indiana.

We quickly pivoted from managing through a once anticipated recession due to the ramifications of the COVID-19 pandemic to closing the state fiscal year with $3.9 billion in combined reserves. Now, with our 19th straight balanced budget, we are working on everything from mental health programs and health care supports to record increases in K-12 tuition support. We’re investing in state public facilities and infrastructure projects statewide on a level never seen before all the while doing everything we can to create a highly skilled workforce to fill the open jobs of today and tomorrow.

Thanks to everyone’s diligent approach, including a bullish private sector, Indiana is positioned to begin the 2022 state fiscal year in a strong financial position that will benefit Hoosiers for years to come."

What They're Saying: Close of 2021 Fiscal Year

“This afternoon’s budget announcement is good news for all Hoosiers. Governor Holcomb’s leadership through the pandemic and conservative fiscal management over the last several years allowed Indiana to come roaring back stronger than ever and the increase in state revenues shows that our economy, under Republican leadership, is incredibly strong. In Indiana, we’re making record investments in education, workforce training, infrastructure and quality of life while keeping our taxes low and our budgets balanced. On top of all of that, Hoosier taxpayers will now receive an automatic tax credit. Thank you to Governor Holcomb and all the fiscal and legislative leaders that worked so hard to make news like today’s possible.” -Chairman Kyle Hupfer

“As the former Auditor of State of Indiana, I’m elated to see the 2021 fiscal year close with $3.9 billion in our reserves. Our current Auditor of State, Tera Klutz, along with fiscal leaders in the State Budget Agency, General Assembly, and throughout state government deserve praise for being good stewards of the taxpayer dollar. I’m happy to see a portion of this reserve being credited to Hoosiers.”-Lt Gov. Suzanne Crouch

“Indiana once again exceeded expectations and soared through the recession with one of the fastest recoveries on record to end with a cash reserve of $3.9 billion at the end of June. Indiana is poised to make an excess reserve transfer of $1.1 billion, which will be split between retirement funding and a refundable income tax credit for Hoosier taxpayers. Indiana’s economic future and fiscal responsibility are directly linked. Maintaining sustainable finances creates a better, stronger, more prosperous Hoosier state for the next generation.”-Auditor Tera Klutz

“Thanks to the resilience of our Hoosier workers, Indiana's economy has bounced back faster than most other states in the country. It's rare for government to return money to taxpayers, but with the automatic taxpayer refund kicking in, that's exactly what our state is doing, and I am pleased we are in a position to return some of that hard-earned money. At the same time, we continue to eliminate massive amounts of debt in the way of paying down our pension obligations, which will free up millions of dollars down the road for our state's future leaders to reinvest in Hoosiers. This is what sound fiscal policy looks like, and my caucus members and I are committed to continuing this kind of leadership now and in the future." -Senate President Pro Tem Rodric Bray

“Today’s fiscal year closeout results demonstrate that the fundamentally strong Hoosier economy has picked up where it left off after the initial shock of the pandemic and revenues continue to surge beyond our expectations. The automatic taxpayer refund ensures that reserves beyond what's needed go back to where they belong – in the pockets of hardworking Hoosiers. Indiana's already provided record funding for our K-12 schools and a fully funded infrastructure improvement plan on top of paying down debt, so this taxpayer refund is well-deserved. As I've said before, we're going to jump at the chance to explore sustainable tax cuts and reforms next session. It's critical for us to build on this record-breaking momentum and continue to do what's right by taxpayers. We're fortunate to be on such strong financial footing, and that's in large part due to conservative Republican stewardship over the last 10 years." -House Speaker Todd Huston

Chairman Hupfer Op-Ed

Chairman Hupfer wrote an op-ed about Democrat attempts to gaslight the American people when it comes to their support of the “defund the police” movement.

“Republicans will always back the blue – and we hope our Democrat friends across the country can renounce the radical leaders of their party and join us in supporting the police“ -Chairman Hupfer
