Today we celebrated the graduation of the inaugural class of our Indiana Republican Diversity Leadership Series. Republican National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel joined us and delivered the keynote to our graduates. This inaugural class has really set a high bar for what the series can become. We created this leadership program as a way to broaden our party, to recruit more leaders, and to build authentic relationships with communities that haven’t always supported Republicans. We couldn’t have been more thrilled with how this first cohort went and I’m grateful to the entire class for investing their time and talents to get this series started right. Many thanks to Chairwoman McDaniel, Governor Holcomb, and Senator Todd Young for helping us honor the graduates today.

This week we also announced another inaugural event, this one the official inauguration celebration of the Holcomb-Crouch team! As many of you remember, we postponed the traditional celebratory events that lead up to the swearing in of the governor and lt. governor. Country music legends Big & Rich will kick off our celebrations with a concert on August 19 and we will also host a Boots and Black Tie Gala on Saturday, August 21. This celebration isn’t just to honor Governor Holcomb and Lt. Governor Crouch, we’re doing this as a way to celebrate the shared victories of the entire team that made this historic reelection possible. Sponsorship and ticket information is below.

Thanks,

Kyle

A Week of Celebrations

Governor Holcomb attended the 25th Anniversary Celebration of Victory Field on Monday. While there, he had the opportunity to throw the first pitch - leading off the celebrations for the night!

Governor Holcomb attended the graduation of the inaugural class of our Indiana Republican Diversity Leadership Series where he was joined by RNC National Committee Chairwoman Ronna McDaniel, Indiana GOP Chairman Kyle Hupfer and Senator Todd Young. We are extremely proud of this first class and cannot wait to see how they will impact the lives of Hoosiers across the state.

Pelosi Blocks Rep. Jim Banks

In a purely partisan political move, Nancy Pelosi has banned Representative Jim Banks from serving on the January 6 Committee. See his quote about being banned here:

"As a member of Congress and an Afghanistan veteran I’m disappointed in this unprecedented move by Speaker Pelosi. She knows Jim Jordan and I will fight for our country and for the truth. This proves again this is entirely a political stunt, not a true effort to follow the facts." -Rep. Jim Banks
