STATEHOUSE (Dec. 15, 2023) – With Indiana's lawmakers set to return to the Statehouse on Jan. 8 for the start of the 2024 legislative session, Porter County legislators released online surveys to gather constituents' feedback on important issues.

To get started on the survey, lawmakers ask Hoosiers to visit their state representative's webpage at one of the following links and click on the red "Take My Survey" button:  

  • State Rep. Michael Aylesworth (R-Hebron), House District 11, in.gov/h11;
  • State Rep. Julie Olthoff (R-Crown Point), House District 19, in.gov/h19; or
  • State Rep. Ed Soliday (R-Valparaiso), House District 4, in.gov/h4.

"Understanding the needs and issues in our district is essential, and this survey makes it easy and convenient for constituents to provide their feedback," Aylesworth said. "I encourage those in House District 11 to take some time to complete the survey and reach out to me anytime, especially as lawmakers consider legislation during the 2024 session."

"It's important to learn more about the topics that matter most to the people of House District 19," Olthoff said. "Participating in this survey is just one more way to make sure your voice is heard."

To complete online surveys, constituents 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.

"I want constituents to know that their voice matters and their input is helpful to me as bills are debated and discussed at the Statehouse," Soliday said. "I appreciate hearing from local Hoosiers about key issues and working with them to find helpful solutions."

The 2024 legislative session begins Jan. 8 and must conclude by March 14. Hoosiers can stay informed and engaged by visiting iga.in.gov, where they can watch session and committee meetings, read proposed bills, and view calendars and agendas.

To stay updated during the legislative session, Hoosiers can sign up for their legislator's email newsletter by visiting IndianaHouseRepublicans.com and entering their email address under "Subscribe to eNews" or by calling 317-232-9600.
