STATEHOUSE (Dec. 19, 2024) – With the next legislative session quickly approaching, local lawmakers encourage Hoosiers to take their online surveys and offer feedback on important issues.
To start, Hoosiers should visit their state representative's webpage and click on the "Take My Survey" button.
Bartholomew County representatives' webpages include:
This survey is a great opportunity for Hoosiers to share what they care about going into the upcoming session," Lauer said. "I look forward to hearing on a variety of issues from constituents."
To complete online surveys, Hoosiers must be a resident of the district and submit it by the Dec. 31 deadline. Constituents can check which House district they reside in by visiting the Indiana General Assembly's website at iga.in.gov, clicking on "Find Your Legislator" on the homepage and entering a home address. Constituents can also expect to receive or may have already received a copy of their state representative's survey mailer in their mailbox.
"Having an open line of communication between lawmakers and constituents is key to helping our communities succeed," Meltzer said. "I hope to hear from Hoosiers in my district so I can best represent them in the upcoming session."
The 2025 legislative session begins Jan. 8 and must conclude by April 29. Hoosiers can follow session proceedings at iga.in.gov, where they can find information on proposed legislation and watch livestreams of committee hearings and session.
"Being a representative means being the voice of your constituents at the Statehouse," Lucas said. "By taking this survey, the Hoosiers in my district can share their concerns so that I can better represent them during session."
Hoosiers also can stay updated during the legislative session by signing up for their legislator's email newsletter at IndianaHouseRepublicans.com and entering their email address under "Subscribe to eNews," or by calling 317-232-9600.
