[U.S. Congressman Ryan Mackenzie @RepMackenzie]

Choice makes education stronger.

Thank you to @RepWalberg and @RepMessmer for coming to Bethlehem for a hearing on school choice and expanding educational opportunities. Here in the Lehigh Valley and the Poconos, in addition to the great traditional public schools in our area, school choice allows parents to pick the best option for their children. That’s why I’m delivering legislation that strengthens high-quality charter schools without diverting funds from traditional public schools.

I’ll keep working to make sure that local kids and parents get the educational opportunities that they deserve.

Today, I had the honor of presenting Gary Long with the Purple Heart and Air Medal at VFW Post 1127 in Brazil, IN.

Our nation owes a tremendous debt of gratitude to veterans like Gary for their courage and sacrifice.

Thank you, Gary, for your service to our great nation! 🇺🇸

[Congressman Mark Messmer @RepMessmer]

My office has helped return over $5.6 million to hardworking Hoosiers in IN-08 through federal casework assistance! 🇺🇸

From Social Security to veterans’ benefits, I’m proud to deliver results for my deserving constituents.

Hoosier farmers feed our nation and the world, and it is imperative they have the support that they need.

The $8 billion Harvest Fuel Relief program will provide an important investment in Indiana’s beloved agricultural industry.

[Dept. of Agriculture @USDA]

Harvest relief for America’s farmers.

Today, @POTUS and @SecRollins announced the Harvest Fuel Relief Program — making $8 BILLION available for one-time payments to farmers facing higher costs and market disruptions.

Here’s what that means:

➡️ Payments to help cover a portion of estimated losses for the 2026 crop year.

➡️ Payment amounts based on planted acres, production costs, crop yields, and prices.

➡️ Row crop payment rates announced in November, with details for other eligible commodities to follow.

➡️ Application will be available online using a https://t.co/97Hz4rfseK account that is connected to USDA.

I am monitoring the situation involving suspicious mailings targeting elected officials around the U.S.

While safety is always a top priority, my offices remain open, and we will continue serving Hoosiers in Indiana’s 8th District, whilst taking precautions regarding the mail.

[Congressman Mark Messmer @RepMessmer]

I am relieved to hear that my colleague @RepAndreCarson and his staff are safe and I am indebted to our great first responders on the front lines working to protect Hoosiers and all Americans.

[Congressman Mark Messmer @RepMessmer]

Great visiting Pike Central High School in Petersburg, one of #IN08’s great public high schools, to speak with the senior class!

I enjoyed answering their questions, discussing the importance of public service, and hearing from the next generation of Hoosier leaders!

Thank you to every sailor, past and present, for your service!

Happy National Farmers Day! 🌽🚜

Today and every day, I’m proud to stand with the hardworking Hoosier farmers who make Indiana and America strong!

Happy Columbus Day! 🇺🇸

Today, we commemorate Christopher Columbus’ historic voyage across the Atlantic and celebrate the generations of Italian Americans whose faith, family, hard work, and patriotism have enriched our great nation.

Great to join the Ferdinand community to dedicate the new mural at Fleig’s Cafe!

Thank you to Traditional Arts Today, artist Adam Long, and everyone who helped bring this project to life.

Hoosier pride on full display!

[Congressman Mark Messmer @RepMessmer]

It was great to visit Evansville Christian School yesterday and see firsthand the incredible work they're doing to educate the next generation of Hoosiers!

I'll always fight to put parents, not bureaucrats, in charge of their children's education. 🇺🇸📚🏫

Today, we remember the innocent lives taken in the horrific October 7 terrorist attacks against our great ally, Israel.

We pray for the victims, their families, and all those forever changed by that day.

America must always stand against terrorism and antisemitism.

[Congressman Mark Messmer @RepMessmer]

🚨 Democrats just voted AGAINST making data centers pay for their own energy usage costs.

Democrats think Hoosiers should be stuck with the bill.

Data centers should ALWAYS pay their own way.

Democrats are against lowering energy costs for hardworking Hoosiers.

What a shame!
