At the Indiana Basketball Hall of Fame in New Castle, I met with Hoosiers to discuss 2027 funding for roads, water and sewer upgrades, and first responder equipment.

I’ve advanced $56 million for 6th District projects this Congress.

Our communities set the priorities. My job is to help secure the dollars to get it done.

Caring for our neighbors takes skill, patience, and compassion.

Last week, I visited Envive Healthcare in Beech Grove, formerly St. Paul Hermitage, to hear from the team providing nursing care and rehabilitation for Hoosiers.

Thanks to Ben Wells for the tour and to the nursing staff for the work they do every day for our neighbors and their families.

Strong schools and a strong local economy go hand in hand.

In the Columbus area, the Community Education Coalition brings educators and employers together to connect education and training with the skills our businesses need.

I met with Dr. Jim Roberts and Ashley Dieter to discuss that work: helping Hoosiers prepare for careers and helping local employers find the talent they need to grow.

Scott Allman of Zeller Insurance in Columbus stopped by our Bartholomew County office hours to discuss legislation affecting the insurance industry.

Hearing directly from local professionals helps me understand how decisions in Washington affect our businesses and the Hoosiers they serve.

That “local” Indiana number calling you may not be local at all.

SIM boxes route overseas calls through hundreds of SIM cards, making scammers look like neighbors.

I introduced the Stop SIM Box Scams Act this week -- to ban these devices and help federal agencies keep them out of our country.

Take away the tool. Limit the calls.

Our neighbors in Connersville, Cambridge City and New Castle face a long recovery from last month’s floods. I’ve visited these communities, and my team and I are staying engaged as they rebuild.

My September newsletter covers those visits, the October 25 deadline to apply for FEMA assistance, and more from across our district.

Recovering from the August floods will take time, but my team and I are staying on the job. In recent visits to Connersville, New Castle, and Cambridge City, I was encouraged by Hoosiers helping Hoosiers. Volunteers, local officials, and neighbors are picking each other up, assisting where they can....

I’m reflecting this weekend on my visit last week in Washington with Archbishop Charles Thompson of the Archdiocese of Indianapolis.

We discussed Pope Leo’s encyclical on artificial intelligence. I share his concern that technological progress must protect human dignity.

AI holds great promise — and challenges. Our responsibility is to guide its development with care for our families and the next generation.

Columbus, we're coming to you.

I'll be at City Hall at noon on Wednesday with a constituent services team member. VA benefits, Social Security, the IRS, passports, FEMA and flood assistance claims -- let us know if we can lend a hand with any federal issue.
