Rep. Slager ready to serve Hoosiers
STATEHOUSE – Indiana Legislators were sworn in today, Organization Day, which marks the first meeting for the 118th General Assembly. All 100 members of the House, including 19 new Republicans, were sworn in by Chief Justice Brent Dickson. “Just like a responsible family, we will sit together at our desks on the House floor and in the committee rooms of this building – and work through the monumental issues facing our state,” said newly reelected Speaker of the House, Brian C. Bosma (R-Indianapolis). State Rep. Hal Slager (R-Schererville) was sworn in as a new member of the freshman class representing House District 15, which now includes a western portion of Lake County. “It is an honor to represent my community in this capacity,” said Rep. Slager. “My focus for this upcoming session will be on getting Hoosiers back to work and putting the needs of students and their education first and foremost.” In October, the House Republican Caucus released their legislative agenda, making it clear that their focus will be on financial integrity, jobs and education. That focus was echoed today as the 69 House Republicans prepared for the upcoming session with a resolve to accomplish those priorities and continue to propel Indiana to be a state where Hoosiers have the ability to own their American Dream. “I’m thrilled to be serving District 15 and will work to continue the efforts of building an economic environment where high quality jobs can thrive here in Indiana,” said Rep. Slager -30-
