STATEHOUSE (Nov. 22, 2016) – State Rep. Greg Beumer (R-Modoc) joined fellow legislators at the Statehouse today for the Indiana General Assembly’s Organization Day.

Organization Day occurs annually in November. State lawmakers use the day to gather together, meet new members and prepare for the upcoming legislative session. Following the general election earlier this month, all re-elected members and member-elects were also sworn into office. The day also marks the first official meeting of the 120th Indiana General Assembly for the next two years.

“I plan to focus on finding a long-term infrastructure funding solution, while also supporting an honestly balanced budget,” Beumer said. “I encourage you to share your thoughts and needs with me, as I continue to work on behalf of our communities.”

House and Senate lawmakers also announced they will team up to support Habitat for Humanity of Indiana to raise awareness about the need for affordable housing. This year, members and staff will participate in a new and used tool drive, which will help Habitat volunteers build houses across the state.

The 2017 legislative session begins in early January and by law must conclude by April 30. To contact Beumer, call 317-234-9447 or email h33@iga.in.gov.
