96 An Early Merry Christmas I'd like to be the first one to wish
you and your loved ones an early Merry Christmas!

As a party, we
accomplished a lot this year, and our work will soon continue as we
begin to prepare for the 2023 municipal elections. But for the next few
days, I hope you can relax and unwind as we celebrate with friends,
families, and neighbors and reflect upon the true meaning of Christmas.
Enjoy this week's newsletter and share it with a friend.

Sincerely,
Chairman Kyle Hupfer
  Governor Holcomb's Week That WasA New
Appellate Judge Governor Eric Holcomb poses with Judge Dana Kenworthy
after he announced her appointment to the Indiana Court of Appeals.
On
Wednesday, Governor Holcomb announced that he had selected Grant County
Superior Court Judge Dana Kenworthy as the next member of the Indiana
Court of Appeals. Kenworthy will replace Justice Derek R. Molter who was
appointed to the Indiana Supreme Court.

“Judge Kenworthy is one of
the sharpest legal minds in our state which is what brought her to the
courtroom, but it’s her passion for children and families that has kept
her there. The Indiana appellate court will benefit from her critical
thinking skills, problem-solving technique, reasoned decision-making and
her sense of justice.”
— Gov. Holcomb

Judge Kenworthy was appointed
to Grant County Superior Court 2 in 2010. Before serving as a judge,
Kenworthy worked as a Grant County deputy prosecutor for 10 years where
she focused on cases involving child abuse, sexual assault, juvenile
delinquency and domestic violence.

During her time as a judge in
Grant County, she founded one of the earliest Family Recovery Courts in
Indiana, which applies the problem-solving court model to help the
highest need and highest risk families remain intact. In six years, the
Grant County Family Recovery Court has been nationally recognized as a
gold standard. Judge Kenworthy has had 41 participants graduate from the
program.

“I am humbled and honored to be selected by Gov. Holcomb,
and immensely grateful to friends and colleagues who offered support
throughout the selection process,” said Judge Dana Kenworthy. “It is a
rare privilege to serve on the Indiana Court of Appeals, and I will work
hard every day to be worthy of the position.”

  Applications Open for 2023 Indiana Republican
Diversity Leadership Class Applications to join the 2023 class of the
Indiana Republican Diversity Leadership Series are now open!

The
Indiana Republican Diversity Leadership Series (IRDLS) is a seminar and
leadership training program that provides the preparation and resources
needed to increase the engagement of minority Republican leaders across
Indiana. The program is open to Hoosiers of all backgrounds and all
ages as we work to bring more historically under-represented
communities into civic leadership. Members of the series build their
personal network, meet with state leaders, and receive mentorship while
developing additional avenues to become civically engaged in Indiana.
The series involves monthly classes, which cover topics such as
inclusive language, authentic communications, diversity and civic
engagement, multicultural messaging, local and state policy, and much
more. The class concludes with a group capstone project and a trip to
Washington, D.C.

The series is the first among state Republican
parties and has been described by the RNC as a “prime example” of
Republican efforts to prioritize minority engagement, grow the party,
connect with voters, and elevate leaders.
