STATEHOUSE (Oct. 20, 2026) – State Reps. Joanna King (R-Middlebury) and Renee Pack (D-Indianapolis) will welcome Hoosier veterans, active-duty personnel and their families to the 2027 Indiana Military & Veterans Legislative Day on Tuesday, Jan. 12, 2027, from 9 a.m. to 1 p.m. at the Statehouse in Indianapolis.
King said the annual event, which is open to the public, aims to amplify military voices and advocate for legislation that supports Hoosier veterans.
"This is one of my favorite days at the Statehouse," King said. "I want veterans to walk through those doors knowing that this building belongs to them, too. I want them to see where decisions are made in Indiana, to meet the people who represent them and most importantly, be honored. If you're a veteran or know someone who is, I hope you will join us at the Statehouse."
Pack said Hoosier veterans and their families from across the state can experience a day at the Statehouse as well as meet with lawmakers and experience the legislative process. The day also brings together sponsors, exhibitors and volunteers who are passionate about advancing legislation that benefits Hoosier veterans.
“As a U.S. Army veteran and this year’s IMVLD sponsor, I’m proud to help bring Hoosiers who have served into the building where these decisions get made,” Pack said. “Veterans and military families know better than anyone what they need from their state, and lawmakers need to hear it from them directly. I hope every veteran, service member and military family will join us.”
