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 Representative Suzanne Crouch (R-Evansville) was reelected to represent House District 78, which now includes portions of Vanderburgh and Warrick counties. 

“I’m truly humbled to represent the people of District 78 at the Statehouse, and I’m prepared to continue serving as their voice for a better state and future,” said Rep. Crouch. “Crafting a balanced budget it the first step to solidifying financial security for our state moving forward. Indiana is one of only nine states with a triple-A credit rating, something I intend to preserve.” 
 
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.

“Jobs and education are my top priorities this session as we look to make Indiana the best place to work, go to school and raise a family,” said Rep. Crouch. “We want to continue to develop the best environment for businesses to grow and expand their workforce. Employers know that Indiana is open for business as numerous companies recognize our state as the most pro-business, taxpayer-friendly state in the Midwest.”
