STATEHOUSE (Aug. 25, 2025) – State Rep. Matt Lehman (R-Berne) recently ranked among top Indiana lawmakers for his support of pro-economy, pro-jobs legislation during the 2025 legislative session.
Lehman 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.
"Indiana continues be a center for innovation, small business and manufacturing, and that success depends on policies that empower growth," Lehman said. "My score on the Chamber's 2025 Legislator Scorecard reflects my commitment to advancing policies that grow Indiana's economy and strengthens our workforce."
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).
