Fellow Hoosiers,
It has been an honor serving you for the last two years in Congress. I also look forward to serving the Fifth Congressional District for the next two years in a Republican Majority. As you know, one of Indiana’s U.S. Senate seats will become open in 2024, and I have been asked to consider it. It’s a great honor serving the people but it’s also an enormous responsibility and hard work to deliver results.
I have been involved in Republican politics for over a decade now and won a lot of tough battles for the people and our freedoms. I came to Washington, D.C. two years ago and planned to serve for not more than 6 years, three terms, in the U.S. House of Representatives. I love our Republic dearly and understand how important these times are for our nation, but I need to decide if I am ready to commit at least 8 more years to Washington D.C. As some of you might know, I am not a huge fan of it. We know the Senate is failing us as an institution that is supposed to represent the interest of the States and provide long-term policy solutions. It definitely could use more real people from the ground, not more DC creatures, but it’s a huge undertaking to make it better. I have to decide how and where I can bring the most value and will let you know for sure in January-February of next year.
Regardless of what I do next, Indiana already made history electing a girl from a poor, socialist town with no running water to become a U.S. Congresswoman. My life is a testament that the American dream is still alive and well, but no doubt it’s under siege.
