Rep. Karickhoff ready to serve
 
STATEHOUSE – State Representative Mike Karickhoff (R-Kokomo) and fellow legislators were sworn in on Organization Day, marking the first meeting for the 119th General Assembly. All 100 members of the House, including 8 new Republicans, were sworn in by Chief Justice Loretta Rush. Rep. Karickhoff was re-elected to represent House District 30, which includes portions of Grant and Howard counties.

“I look forward to serving at the Statehouse as the voice of our district,” said Rep. Karickhoff. “Supporting and creating legislation that benefits my constituents and all Hoosiers strengthens Indiana.”
In October, the House Republican Caucus released their legislative agenda, making it clear that their focus will be on an honestly balanced budget, education, ethics reform and public safety. That focus was echoed today through Speaker Brian Bosma’s (R-Indianapolis) address to the House Chamber.  

“We understand the importance of crafting a balanced budget that allows the state to live within its means,” said Rep. Karickhoff. “By doing so, we will allow our state to foster economic growth while ensuring Hoosiers are not burdened by expenses.”
