96 Let's Deliver More Victories (and Results) in the New Year2022
was quite the year for us.
Together, we reelected U.S. Senator Todd
Young by a commanding 20-point margin, swept the auditor of state,
secretary of state, and treasurer of state races, maintained our
supermajorities in the general assembly, and grew our support at the
county level. With these results, we continue to hold both U.S. Senate
seats, seven U.S. House seats, and nearly 90 percent of all
county-elected offices.
These electoral victories are a strong
endorsement of the results Republicans have delivered, and will continue
to deliver, for all Hoosiers.
Next year, we'll have the opportunity
to do this again, delivering more victories and results in cities and
towns across the state.
In 2019, together, we won a record number of
mayoral seats, flipping 19 and picking up offices in former Democrat
strongholds like Muncie, Kokomo, and Logansport. Today, there are 71
Republican mayors serving in Indiana — 23 more than the Democrats.
That's a number we're proud of, and a number we intend to not just hold,
but expand upon in 2023.
And with you're help, we'll do just that.
Enjoy this week's newsletter and share it with a friend.
Sincerely,
Chairman Kyle Hupfer
P.S. From all of us at the Indiana Republican
Party: We hope the new year will bless you with joy and prosperity.
 Governor Holcomb's Week That WasICYMI: A New Appellate Judge
Governor Eric Holcomb poses with Judge Dana Kenworthy after he announced
her appointment to the Indiana Court of Appeals.
Last 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.”

Income growth in the U.S. was largely flat

the latest Census Bureau data.
Overall, median household income
nudged up only slightly since 2019, from $69,639 to $69,717, as
measured in 2021 inflation-adjusted dollars. Data from 2020 was

declined or essentially went unchanged since 2019.
But in 25 states
and territories, incomes are increasing.

transportation strikes again.

Transportation
Secretary Pete Buttigieg is being ripped for his response to the
airline meltdown that left thousands of people stranded on Christmas
after he assured Americans just months ago that ongoing air travel
issues would improve before the holidays.
During a September
appearance on "The Late Late Show with James Corden," Buttigieg said he
was increasing pressure on U.S. airlines after travelers experienced an
expensive and chaotic summer.
"I think it's gonna get better by the
holidays," the transportation secretary said at the time. "We’re really
pressing the airlines to deliver better service. So many people have
been delayed, been canceled, it happened to me several times this
summer. And the fact is they need to be ready to service the tickets
that they're selling."
Story continues.
 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.
