96 Three Predictions for 2023FILE: Chairman Kyle Hupfer speaks on
the election outlook in Indiana for 2022 to Gray Television.
Welcome to
2023! While there may not be a midterm or presidential election this
year, 2023 is still going to be another action packed year for Hoosier
politics.

Here are three predictions I'm making for 2023:
Hoosiers
will again choose Republicans to lead their cities and towns. In 2019,
Hoosiers sent more Republicans to city hall than ever before. Today,
there are 71 Republican mayors serving in Indiana that are delivering
results for their constituents and communities — mayors like Tyler Moore
who is putting Kokomo at the forefront or new and innovative
technologies or Scott Fadness who is leading Fishers into an era of
unprecedented growth. We'll again invest the time and resources across
the entire state to give our Republican candidates the competitive edge,
and work to hold and expand upon the number of offices we hold.
Republicans in the General Assembly will again deliver for all Hoosiers.
We've long prided ourselves on being the Party of Purpose, of being
about great politics and great policy. And with the legislative session
starting Monday, you can expect that to continue. Governor Holcomb
unveiled a bold agenda this week that will seek to build upon Indiana's
incredible momentum, and House and Senate Republicans are expected to
unveil their agendas next week. Together, Governor Holcomb and House and
Senate Republicans will ensure a productive session that again delivers
for all Hoosiers. Indiana will maintain the pole position on a number of
fronts. In 2022, Indiana racked up $22.2 billion in capital investment
commitments with 218 companies committing to locate or expand their
operations in Indiana. That brought along an additional 24,000 jobs that
paid wages 27 percent higher than the state average. And as Governor
Holcomb has said "success attracts success," and there's more to come
this year. We'll also continue to make Indiana one of the best places in
the country to set up shop, innovate, and grow.
All of this takes a
team effort, and we invite you to join us as we continue our work to
make Indiana one of the best places in the country to live, study, stay,
and play.

Happy 2023...now, let's get to work!

Enjoy this week's
newsletter and share it with a friend.

Sincerely,

Chairman Kyle
Hupfer

economic and community development to elevate Indiana to the Next Level
and provide citizens and their families the tools they need to not just
survive but thrive for generations to come." — Gov. Holcomb

health, education, workforce, economy, and communities, is an investment

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.
