STATEHOUSE (Dec. 23, 2024) – With the next legislative session quickly approaching, local lawmakers encourage Hoosiers to take their online surveys and offer feedback on important issues.
To start, Hoosiers should visit their state representative's webpage and click on the "Take My Survey" button.
Washington County representatives' webpages include:
"As legislators prepare for the upcoming session, these surveys offer an easy way for Hoosiers to let them know about the topics most important to them," Engleman said. "I hope to hear from residents in House District 70 so I can best represent our local communities."
To complete online surveys, Hoosiers must be a resident of the district and submit it by the Dec. 31 deadline. Constituents can check which House district they reside in by visiting the Indiana General Assembly's website at iga.in.gov, clicking on "Find Your Legislator" on the homepage and entering a home address. Constituents can also expect to receive or may have already received a copy of their state representative's survey mailer in their mailbox.
"Being a representative means being the voice of your constituents at the Statehouse," Lucas said. "By taking this survey, the Hoosiers in my district can share their concerns so that I can better represent them during session."
The 2025 legislative session begins Jan. 8 and must conclude by April 29. Hoosiers can follow session proceedings at iga.in.gov, where they can find information on proposed legislation and watch livestreams of committee hearings and session.
"I encourage the Hoosiers I represent at the Statehouse to provide feedback heading into session and stay engaged throughout the process," May said. "These surveys help legislators get a better understanding of the issues affecting constituents to find potential solutions."
Hoosiers also can stay updated during the legislative session by signing up for their legislator's email newsletter at IndianaHouseRepublicans.com and entering their email address under "Subscribe to eNews," or by calling 317-232-9600.
