A Bolder, Brighter Future for Indiana
People are talking about Governor Eric Holcomb’s 2020 Next Level Agenda -- a bold plan focused on improving Hoosiers’ lives across Indiana. Read the full agenda here ([link removed][UNIQID]) , and then see what people are saying:
Indiana House Speaker Brian Bosma:
“Governor Holcomb laid out a strong vision for the coming year and we look forward to working with him and our Senate colleagues to accomplish our shared goals. We agree with his prudent call to use the state’s reserves to pay cash for several capital projects, which will maximize long-term savings. We will also work together to hold teachers and schools harmless from this year’s ILEARN scores, and provide increased price transparency for health care consumers in addition to addressing surprise billing, among other issues.”

Indiana House Speaker-Elect Todd Huston:
“Governor Holcomb’s Next Level agenda highlights many of our shared legislative priorities, and we will work together to tackle the issues important to Hoosiers. From investing cash reserves in one-time capital projects with the potential to save the state more than $120 million in interest, to addressing rising health care costs, we have a busy session ahead. Legislators are preparing to hit the ground running, and I’m confident we will deliver on our goals and continue the state’s positive momentum.”

Senate President Pro Tem Rod Bray:
“Today the governor unveiled another agenda that provides great leadership and vision for the future of our state, and we look forward to working with Gov. Holcomb and our partners in the House of Representatives on legislative items to help move our state forward. One of the most important topics we will be collaborating on is addressing the cost of health care. We won’t solve this issue overnight, but creating more transparency for health care costs is critical as we work to make progress on this important issue that affects all Hoosiers, and we look forward to getting to work.”

Indiana Republican Party
Kyle Hupfer, Chairman:
“Governor Holcomb has been Putting People First since day one and his 2020 Next Level Agenda continues his commitment to strengthening our state. By focusing on strengthening our economy, infrastructure, workforce and education, and our public health, Governor Holcomb is showcasing the leadership and vision Hoosiers have come to expect from this administration and their governor.”

Indiana Chamber of Commerce
Kevin Brinegar, President & CEO:
“The Governor is focused on the policies that will have the greatest impact on Hoosiers and their employers. You can’t ask for more than that. We are encouraged by the forward-looking approaches Governor Holcomb has put forth to keep our economy strong and grow talent.”

Indiana State Police Alliance:
“Distracted Driving is a serious issue in Indiana and we’re proud to stand with Governor Holcomb to increase Hoosiers safety on the roads.”

Indiana Criminal Justice Institute:
“ICJI supports Governor Holcomb’s agenda, which includes calling for Indiana to become a hands-free device driving state. In 2018, roughly 10% of distracted driving crashes in IN resulted from cell phone use. This will make roads safer and save lives!”

March of Dimes Indiana:
“Today, large majorities of women are remaining in the workforce while pregnant and returning to work after having their babies. We are proud to stand with Governor Holcomb to seek reasonable accommodations for pregnant employees!”

Indiana Institute for Working Families
Jessica Fraser, Director:
“We are proud to stand with Governor Holcomb to seek reasonable accommodations for pregnant employees.”

Indiana Coalition Against Domestic Violence:
“Pregnant employees deserve reasonable accommodations in the workplace and we are happy Governor Holcomb has made this a priority on his Next Level Agenda.”

Indiana 211 Partnership, Inc.:
“We’re excited to enhance 211 services alongside Indiana FSSA to better connect Hoosiers to the local services they need.”

American Lung Association of Indiana:
“Thank you to Governor Holcomb for supporting and advocating for Tobacco 21, which is proven to reduce smoking rates and will have a tremendous impact on the youth e-cigarette epidemic happening in Indiana and across the country.”

American Heart Association:
Dr. William Gill, President, Board of Directors in Indianapolis:
“The American Heart Association applauds Gov. Holcomb for making the health of our youth a priority. Nearly 90 percent of smokers first try tobacco and become addicted by age 18. In addition, we’ve seen a 78 percent increase in the use of e-cigarettes among high school students in just one year, leading to addiction, health problems and a future filled with chronic disease. By raising the minimum sales age for all tobacco products, including e-cigarettes, cigars, and smokeless tobacco, we can reduce tobacco use, nicotine addiction, and tobacco-related disease and death. We look forward to working with Indiana lawmakers during this session to protect our kids from the burden of tobacco.”

Indiana Hospital Association
Brian Tabor, President:
“We applaud Governor Eric Holcomb’s leadership in putting forth a legislative agenda with a comprehensive approach to sound health care policy. From saving Hoosier lives, protecting consumers, and increasing transparency, his proposals put Indiana on a path to lower costs and better health outcomes...”

Trans-Care Ambulance
Russell Ferrell, CEO:
“This initiative by the governor is important to us and to fire departments that help communities, as it can reduce costs to ER expenses…We are glad to see the governor make this move.”

Crawfordsville Mayor Todd Barton:
“Governor Holcomb outlined his 2020 legislative agenda today, including plans to increase access to healthcare by encouraging more community paramedic programs that are focused on patient outcomes and highlights Crawfordsville as best practice model.”

Columbia City Mayor Ryan Daniel:
"One thing I have always appreciated about Governor Eric Holcomb is that he is constantly looking towards the future. As I look over his 2020 agenda, I'm really happy to see the continued investment of time, energy, and dollars into issues like mental health, education, trails, broadband, roadways, and other critical matters that are important to the future of the State and its communities. These matters are important to our City's growth and future."
