Chairman Kyle Hupfer speaks to ABC 57 after the Second Congressional District caucuses. (Aug. 20, 2022)

Last night, less than nine weeks before the election, Joe Biden decided to give a prime time address to the nation.

No, it wasn't about how his administration is working to combat 40-year high inflation or skyrocketing food prices; it wasn't about the overall state of the economy and the warning signs of a worsening recession; it wasn't about the southern border that people are quite literally walking across; it wasn't about bringing the country together. 

Instead, standing in front of Independence Hall flanked by two U.S. Marines, Joe Biden gave a political speech that only sought to divide. 

After a recent string of so-called "wins," you would think the president would have much more important things to talk about. Yet, he decided to continue a campaign that should have ended nearly two years ago. This is not something a presidential administration, confident in its actions, would decide to do.

Some call last night a "prime time address," I would call it a "prime time distraction." 

Enjoy this week’s newsletter, share it with a friend, and I hope you have a great Labor Day Weekend.

Sincerely,

Chairman Kyle Hupfer

On Wednesday, Gov. Holcomb joined the Next Level Fund Summit to discuss what the state is doing doing to propel Indiana as a thriving hub for tech and venture capital investment.

As I return from our trip to Asia this week, I have much to report. The world has never been smaller and more connected, and we have made even more inroads in ensuring that Indiana is at the forefront of the global economy. At every stop, every meeting, every visit in Taiwan and South Korea, we are hearing the same message: Indiana is leading the way in building the industries and economy of the future. 

Our strong STEM universities, such as Purdue University and Rose-Hulman Institute of Technology, make us an ideal partner in cultivating a skilled talent pipeline. 

Our current investments and partnerships are giving us great momentum in advanced manufacturing, semiconductors, electric vehicles, agbiosciences and life sciences. 

And, our focus on innovation and new technology will well position the state’s economy and, more importantly, Hoosiers for the next 5, 10, 15 and 20 years.

This week, Sen. Todd Young received the endorsement of the Indiana State Police Alliance, making stops in New Albany, Evansville, and Terre Haute on his "Back the Blue" tour. This is the second endorsement Sen. Young has received just in the past week, having been endorsed by the National Federation of Independent Business earlier in the week. 

From Sen. Todd Young:

"I’m proud to receive the endorsement of the Indiana State Police Alliance and 2000+ active and retired Indiana State Troopers they represent.

"I stand with law enforcement and have worked to fully fund our police ensuring our men and women in blue have the tools necessary to do their jobs and keep our communities safe while also providing necessary resources and support for the mental health needs of our law enforcement officers."

Todd was in Southport on his affordable gas tour talking with Hoosiers about the effects record-high inflation is having on everyone's pocketbooks and how unleashing American energy can bring gas prices back down. See the post.

"I'll continue fighting to unleash American energy independence and permanently bring down the price at the pump."

Tera was in Haubstadt last night speaking at the Gibson County Republican Party's Lincoln Day Dinner. See the post.

Diego was in Terre Haute on Tuesday speaking at the Vigo County Republican Party's Lincoln Day Dinner. See the post.

" [The Vigo County Republicans] are energized for big wins this November. 🇺🇸🗳️🐘"

Dan was in Posey County on Sunday attending the Posey County Farm Bureau "meet the candidates" forum. See the post.

"It was great to speak on issues that affect rural Indiana and meet many new friends. Thanks again to the folks at Farm Bureau for the invite."

Next Monday we observe Labor Day, a day to celebrate what makes our nation great: the determination, innovation and resourcefulness of hardworking Americans.

Enjoy your Labor Day weekend, Hoosiers!
