96 Time to Get to Work Many gathered for the inauguration of
Auditor of State Tera Klutz, Secretary of State Diego Morales, and
Treasurer of State Daniel Elliott at the statehouse on Monday.
It's
been a busy week in politics.
On Monday, our state legislators
officially gaveled in and began the 2023 legislative session, Senate
Republicans unveiled their legislative priorities, and Auditor of State
Tera Klutz, Secretary of State Diego Morales, and Treasurer of State
Daniel Elliott were officially sworn in. On Tuesday, Governor Eric
Holcomb delivered his seventh State of the State Address, promising to
work even harder over the next two years than he has at any other time
to improve the Hoosier State while laying out a bold agenda. And on
Thursday, House Republicans unveiled their legislative priorities.
I
have no doubt that our state legislators and elected officials will now
roll up their sleeves and get to work to build upon our historic
momentum and lead a productive session that again delivers for all
Hoosiers.
But it's not just been busy here in Indiana.
In
Washington, D.C., the new Republican House majority, including its seven
Hoosier members, has been hard at work, acting on promises made on the
campaign trail, including passing bills to defund President Biden and
the Democrats' 87,000 new IRS agents, stopping the sale of our strategic
oil reserves to China, and requiring medical care for babies born alive
after an abortion attempt (which 210 Democrats voted against).
There's a lot happening, so be sure to connect with us here and on
social media to stay up-to-date on how Hoosier Republicans are
delivering for you.
Enjoy this week's newsletter and share it with a
friend.
Sincerely,
Chairman Kyle Hupfer
  Governor
Holcomb's Week That WasThe State of the State is StrongGovernor Eric
Holcomb addresses a joint convention of the House and Senate on Tuesday,
Jan. 10.
On Tuesday, Governor Eric Holcomb delivered his seventh State
of the State Address to a joint convention of the House and Senate at
the statehouse.
During the address he made it clear that this is
Indiana’s time and set his eyes on three key goals for the state:
securing Indiana’s place in the economy of the future; transforming the
delivery of public health across the state from how it was structurally
designed over a century ago; continuing unprecedented investments in the
classrooms of Indiana’s school systems – from pre-K through college and
adult learning pathways.
Here's a quick rundown of the highlights:
Health and Wellbeing: With a call for new action to get new results,
Governor Holcomb is dedicated to fundamentally improving the health
outcomes of Hoosiers across the state, no matter where they live by
partnering with local communities. Education and Workforce: Adding to a
history of unprecedented investments in K-12 education, Governor Holcomb
is dedicated to making the state’s largest investment in K-12 tuition
support to ensure Hoosier children are set up for success. Economic
Development: Building upon our historic economic momentum, Governor
Holcomb will look to formalize and diversify economic development tools
for the Indiana Economic Development Corp. to capitalize on industries
of the future. Community Development: Governor Holcomb is committed to
building stronger communities through better connections and by
investing in school safety, law enforcement, and our firefighters across
the state. Good Government: All of Governor Holcomb’s initiatives rest
on a foundation of good government, and he’ll ensure that’s what
Hoosiers are delivered.
Governor Holcomb's agenda is ambitious but
achievable because of years of conservative fiscal management and our
continued growth and momentum.

unveiled their priorities for the 2023 legislative session, focusing on
tax cuts, mental health funding, modernizing and improving state and
local health departments, pay increases for state troopers, and
protecting Hoosiers' data privacy.
“Our caucus has put together a
substantive agenda that will tackle concepts like reevaluating Indiana’s
tax structure, ensuring Hoosiers have reliable access to mental health
services, increasing pay for state police and more,” said Senate

  Indiana House Republicans Unveil
Legislative Priorities Yesterday, Indiana House Republicans unveiled
their priorities for the 2023 legislative session, focusing on
maintaining fiscal responsibility, looking out for Hoosier taxpayers,
and keeping government small.
"Taxpayers expect and deserve to have
a state government that takes care of its needs, saves for a rainy day
and invests in the future – and that's exactly what we'll continue to
deliver, "said House Speaker Todd Huston. "Thanks to years of
maintaining fiscal responsibility, we're in a tremendous position to
invest in our state's greatest asset – Hoosiers. We'll also keep
looking for ways to reduce the burden on taxpayers."
