As a representative of the Evansville area and the Southwest region of the state, I value every opportunity to engage with constituents, hear their concerns and provide updates on the legislative session. Consistent and honest communication is vital to ensuring that our community's voice is well-represented at the Statehouse.
This session alone, I have participated in more than half a dozen public meetings, town halls and legislative forums to hear from residents and be accessible to the people I serve. From legislative breakfasts and roundtables to question and answer sessions with students and community organizations, these events have provided an opportunity for me to directly engage with constituents in District 78 and the surrounding area. I've attended multiple legislative breakfasts at Ivy Tech in Evansville (January and March), joined a discussion with a political science class at the University of Southern Indiana (January) and attended legislative updates and cracker barrel sessions hosted by the local Farm Bureau in Southwest Indiana (February and March) as well as a roundtable with our Evansville Regional Economic Partnership (February). I welcome these opportunities to discuss the key issues facing our district.
