As the year comes to a close, I want to take a moment to wish you and your family a merry Christmas and a happy holiday season. This is a time when families and communities slow down, reconnect and enjoy traditions that bring us together.
Our communities across east central Indiana always stay connected during the holidays. From hometown light displays to school concerts and community events, these moments remind me why I am proud to call this area home.
While the holidays offer a brief pause, preparations are already underway for the 2026 legislative session. I am grateful for the opportunity to continue serving as your state representative and to bring your priorities with me to the Statehouse. The work we do during session affects everybody, and your input plays an important role in shaping those decisions.
As we head into the new year, I encourage you to stay engaged. My office will once again share a constituent survey so you can tell me what issues matter most to you as session gets underway. You can also follow bills, committee meetings and session activity online at iga.in.gov. These tools make it easier than ever to stay informed and involved.
If you ever need help navigating state resources or want to share a concern or idea, my door is always open. You can reach me through my Statehouse office at 317-232-9850 or in.gov/h54. Hearing directly from constituents helps ensure the policies we consider reflect the needs of our district.
Thank you for the trust you place in me to serve on your behalf. I look forward to the work ahead and to continuing our conversations in the months to come. I wish everyone a safe Christmas and a healthy, happy new year.
