Thanks to @adamwren for profiling what’s at stake for #IN05 voters. Hoosiers need leaders who listen to us, represent our interests, and act on our behalf.
We are excited to be leading the nation & be able to offer the gunshot detection devices to community partners. This 1st-of-its-kind community integration puts @Noblesville at the forefront of public safety.
Health At Home - @MayorJensen & licensed #Noblesville therapist @kristenboice will be going live on the city's Facebook page at 11AM Friday to discuss mental health and what individuals and families can be doing to take care of themselves.
Today we honor & celebrate the life of #MLK, his tireless efforts to improve the lives of all & his commitment to social justice. His legacy remains an inspiration & catalyst for social change 50 yrs after his death. Thank you Dr. King for leading the way for future generations.
"As a parent in Noblesville and someone who was very much affected by gun violence from a juvenile, I really feel like if she was representing her constituents, she would have voted for this bill,” said Noblesville resident Stephanie Lambert.
Despite Sen. Spartz’s vote against SB16, it passed the Senate w/bipartisan support, 43-6. We agree w/Sen. Bohacek that it makes sense & is proportional. It’s limited to only juveniles who have committed serious violent crimes w/a gun.
SB 16, Juvenile delinquents & firearms, passed out of conf cmte 8-0. NST testified in support. Next step is 2nd Reading. Thanks to Sen Bohacek & other members of the Courts & Criminal Law Cmte. Thanks to all who supported SB 16 by attending today &/or contacting the Cmte members.
If you want to keep guns away from juveniles who commit acts that would be a felony as an adult, we need you to voice your support for SB 16 being heard in cmte on 1/7. Thanks to author Sen Bohacek but all Cmte members need to hear from us.

Thank you @suptdrmccormick for calling out the need to address gun violence & suicide plaguing our students, families & communities. We support your memo informing principals & superintendents of available informational resources on safe firearm storage and IN’s “red flag” law.
Firearm violence and deaths by suicide continue to impact IN kids & families. In order to continue attacking this epidemic, education & resources addressing safe firearm storage and the “red flag” law are important.
