“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 re-elected Speaker of the House, Brian C. Bosma (R-Indianapolis). State Representative Mike Karickhoff (R-Kokomo) was re-elected to represent House District 30, which now includes portions of Howard and Grant counties, most of the city of Kokomo and the cities of Greentown and Swayzee. “The upcoming session has the potential to make Indiana not only the envy of the nation in regard to economic growth and educational opportunities, but also as a leader of business development,” said Rep. Karickhoff. 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. “We work hard to ensure that Hoosiers have the tools they need to prosper,” Rep. Karickhoff said. “The best way to provide these tools is by laying a solid foundation for our state through passing a balanced budget that stays within our means. Everyone deserves the opportunity to live, work, worship and raise a family in a place that has their best interests in mind.” -30- |
