Chairman Kyle Hupfer and our Director of Diversity & Engagement, Whitley Yates, pose for a photo with presenters at the first class of the 2022 Indiana Republican Diversity Leadership Series.
As you'll read further down in the newsletter, this week, we announced the second class of our Indiana Republican Diversity Leadership Series. This is an outstanding group of Hoosiers, and I'm excited to get to know them.
For those of you that don't know, this series was born out of my remarks at our state convention in 2018. At that time, I called for action to grow our party and increase minority participation, and I am proud of the progress we've made so far.
As we have seen recently, Democrats' electoral success is limited more and more to urban communities and college towns. And as these areas continue to grow, it's important that we are committed and engaged to spreading our message of what the promises of limited government and freedom and individual liberty can deliver.
Democrats have offered empty promises for years. And as we've shown time and time again, we are the party that delivers for all Hoosiers.
Enjoy this week's newsletter and share it with a friend.
Best,
Chairman Kyle Hupfer

Recent Statements by Chairman Kyle Hupfer
INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (Jan. 20, 2022) – Indiana Republican Party Chairman Kyle Hupfer released the following statement on the actions taken by the U.S. Senate last night:
"Last Tuesday, Joe Biden labeled millions of Americans who support voter ID laws, including millions of Hoosiers, as 'domestic enemies.'
"That same day, he instructed Senate Democrats to ram through partisan legislation that would federalize Indiana’s elections, eviscerate our common-sense photo ID laws, and send taxpayer dollars to political campaigns. They were even willing to change a centuries-old rule to make it happen.
"Thankfully, both actions failed last night.
"Every American has the right to vote and access the ballot – it’s never been easier than it is now. Instead of creating fake hysteria regarding voting, Senate Democrats should be focusing on issues that really matter to all Americans, like inflation and the chaos at the southern border."

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (Jan. 18, 2022) – Indiana Republican Party Chairman Kyle Hupfer released the following statement on Cyndi Carrasco filing to seek the Republican nomination for Marion County Prosecutor:
"Under total Democrat leadership, Indianapolis is in the midst of a public safety crisis. Cyndi Carrasco is the right candidate at the right time to bring balance, stability, and strength to the position of Marion County Prosecutor.
"Cyndi has an impeccable record as a leader in justice and ethics at the state level. And as prosecutor, I am confident that she will bring the much-needed solutions to the public safety issues facing Indianapolis and will work to hold bad actors accountable."

INDIANAPOLIS, Ind. (Jan. 14, 2022) – Indiana Republican Party Chairman Kyle Hupfer released the following statement on the Supreme Court's decision to block Biden's unconstitutional vaccine mandate:
“I am relieved to see that the Supreme Court has blocked Joe Biden's unconstitutional vaccine mandate for private businesses. If it had been allowed to go into effect, the mandate would have further weakened our fragile supply chains, kept shelves empty, and worsened our already critical labor shortage.
"As the general counsel of the RNC, I am proud of our team for filing one of the lawsuits challenging the reckless Biden Administration. We will continue to stand up and fight for workers and businesses.”

The Southern Border Crisis
Joe Biden has attempted to rescind President Trump's "Remain in Mexico" policy, twice. Since then, our southern border has been in complete chaos. According to the latest Customs and Border Protection report, 173,000 illegal immigrants crossed the southwest border in November, more than double the previous record for the month. Moreover, 13, 959 unaccompanied minors were apprehended.
The December Customs and Border Protection report will likely show the situation worsening.
