STATEHOUSE (Sept. 5, 2025) – Madison County legislators recently ranked among top Indiana lawmakers for their support of pro-economy, pro-jobs legislation during the 2025 legislative session.
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. State Reps. Lori Goss-Reaves (R-Marion), Chris Jeter (R-Fishers), Ethan Lawson (R-Greenfield), Kyle Pierce (R-Anderson) and Elizabeth Rowray (R-Yorktown) each earned scores above 90 percent.
"It’s encouraging to be recognized for progress we’re making to support small businesses and strengthen Indiana's workforce," Goss-Reaves said. "I am focused on advancing policies that grow opportunities for families and businesses in our communities."
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).
"We made significant progress this year to help reduce costs, lower taxes and encourage economic growth," Jeter said. "A growing economy leads to more opportunity, stronger communities and better quality of life for Hoosiers."
"I'm grateful to be recognized for supporting policies that strengthen our economy and create jobs," Lawson said. "New laws advanced this year will help ensure our state remains a great place for families and businesses alike."
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."
"Our community benefits when Indiana is recognized as a top place to do business," Pierce said. "This brings investment, jobs and opportunities that directly impact families here at home. I'm proud to continue supporting policies to help Hoosiers succeed."
"Indiana's economic success is a reflection of the hard work and values that Hoosiers practice every day," Rowray said. "I’m grateful the Chamber recognized efforts to keep Indiana on a strong path forward."
