STATEHOUSE (Sept. 5, 2025) – State Rep. Brad Barrett (R-Richmond) recently ranked among top Indiana lawmakers for his support of pro-economy, pro-jobs legislation during the 2025 legislative session.
Barrett earned a score of 100 percent in the Indiana Chamber of Commerce's 41st annual Legislator Scorecard.
Lawmaker scores were based on how they voted for legislation affecting six focus areas: child care, economic development, education, energy, health care, public finance/taxation and road funding. These categories are part of the Indiana Chamber's economic strategy for the state, Indiana Prosperity 2035.
"Each year the Chamber’s recognition supports the progress we’re making and outlines the issues we still need to address," Barrett said. "I’ll continue working with my colleagues to deliver positive results for our community and state."
The 2025 Legislator Scorecard included several House Republican priority bills including legislation to lower health care costs (House Enrolled Act 1003), reduce education regulations and increase flexibility (House Enrolled Act 1002), and help Indiana meet the energy demands of our growing economy (House Enrolled Act 1007). It also included a new law delivering property tax relief and reform (Senate Enrolled Act 1).
Indiana's strong economic performance has been reflected in multiple national rankings. Indiana ranks first in the Midwest and sixth in the nation in Chief Executive Magazine’s annual ‘Best & Worst States for Business’ survey. Forbes magazine ranked Indiana second in the nation on its list of "Best states to start a business in."
