Yesterday, the U.S. Air Force confirmed that they improperly released former First District Republican congressional candidate Jennifer-Ruth Green’s military personnel records.

What's worse — they released them to a Democrat opposition research firm. 

What's even worse — that firm, after being hired by the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee (DCCC) in support of Democrat Rep. Frank Mrvan's reelection efforts last year, supplied the records to the press. The press then decided to use those records to write a pre-election story about Jennifer-Ruth Green's sexual assault during her military service against her wishes.

Indiana Democrats like Frank Mrvan and their allies in the Swamp have shown us time and again that they will do anything to get power and to keep it. 

So let this serve as a call to action. 

We must fight and we must hold them accountable.

But it's going to take all of us.

So please, sign up today to get involved and help us hold the desperate Democrats accountable not just for their shameful tactics but for the immense damage they have inflicted upon our country.

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

Sincerely,

Chairman Kyle Hupfer

Governor Eric Holcomb addresses a joint convention of the House and Senate on Tuesday, Jan. 10.

Last week, 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.

On Monday, we celebrated the life and legacy of Dr. Martin Luther King Jr. that continues to inspire us to live up to our highest ideals of freedom and opportunity for all.

From Fox News:

Former Indiana GOP congressional candidate Jennifer-Ruth Green says she feels "vindicated," yet "frustrated," after the Air Force admitted in a letter sent to her Wednesday that her military personnel records – the source of a pre-election Politico story that documented details about her sexual assault during her service in the branch – were released to a third party "without proper redaction."

"The local media in Northwest Indiana, they attacked me for demanding accountability. They were wrong, and they should retract their false reporting. The Due Diligence Group, they're the Democrat opposition research firm who were hired by the Democrat Congressional Campaign Committee to dig up dirt on me and attempt to smear my military career. But of course, as we talked about, they outed me as a survivor of sexual assault in the process."

Story continues.

Today, tens of thousands of Americans, including many Hoosiers, will gather in our nation's capital to march for the cause of life and celebrate the enormous progress we have made, especially since the overturning of Roe v. Wade.

Last week, Indiana Senate and House Republicans separately unveiled their priorities for the 2023 legislative session.

Senate Republicans will focus on tax cuts, mental health funding, modernizing and improving state and local health departments, pay increases for state troopers, and protecting Hoosiers' data privacy. While House Republicans will focus on on maintaining fiscal responsibility, looking out for Hoosier taxpayers, and keeping government small.

Session is underway and bills are being heard in committees. You can tune in live by visiting iga.in.gov.

Applications to join the 2023 class of the Indiana Republican Diversity Leadership Series will close on Jan. 31, 2023.

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.
